Dear Nina,
My world feels smaller now. Snow causes me to reflect on those days we had together.
The days we had when we were younger, when we had first met. You were beautiful and you were still beautiful the day you left.
I remember one day we spent watching the snowflakes fall on the windowsill. We were getting older then and I was close to retiring from my old job. It was then that you decided you wanted to experience the leisure of the countryside. As we moved from our small apartment into our home in forget me not valley you smiled brightly as the day we first wed. It was then I knew this would be our place till the end. Just didn't think you would beat me to the finish line before me.
Jack visits sometimes on his days off. He visits early in the morning to help clean your grave. We don't talk a lot but just his presence makes me a tad more cheerful. The man brings his son sometimes to visit you. His little boy also leaves flowers, I wonder if you've seen it from wherever you are.
Do you remember the little boy? The one you held as you were bed ridden. He has grown so much, and has the appearance of his father with the charisma of his mother. I have given Jack the stocking you made one Starry Night. I know it would be better for someone else to use it than leave it to dust in the old coat rack.
Each day pains me Nina, the thought of another year without you causes me panic. I know you would be sad to see me this way. I still look forward to whatever life has to offer me still but without you, the world feels smaller.
Just know that I still love you.
Galen
