Through it all...

I will still be there for you.

One of my friends posted a link to a video on Youtube today. I watched it and it made me tear up and realize how true it really is. You see, you may be gone, but I am always right behind you, supporting you. Whenever anyone asks me about you, my face lights up and I smile really big. I am so proud of you and all that you have accomplished. Yes, I miss you. But I understand why you are doing what you are doing. And that makes me love you even more.

Some days are harder than others. You know this, I know this. It doesn't mean that I miss you any less on the other days when it's not so hard. I always miss you, no matter what. You are the first person I want to talk to when I am having a bad sad, when something good happens, when I want to share a funny story. It's hard knowing that I can't pick up the phone. My head knows not to call you, but my heart doesn't. I am pretty sure that the hardest part of our relationship is behind us. We made it, it didn't break us. I am a woman who refuses to let any obstacle or hardship become greater than my love for you. There are times when I cry at night. But it's all worth it, because I get to still hear your voice and see your voice, I get to read your thoughts to me. I know that I will never give up and stop fighting. Because you haven't. Nothing will ever overcome my love for you- it is always going to be there. Like stars in the night.

Today is one of those days where I miss you more than most. As always, I am extremely proud of you. I have told you before that this isn't forever, and it's not. You are my rock, my comfort, my partner in life. I am the woman you left behind, who is still behind you. When you get back, I will be the woman still by your side, standing with you.
