I remember going to Kroger one day and just crying in the snack aisle because I only went there for him. I didn't even know I was doing it until I grabbed the cookies he likes. I cried and left the buggy there because all it had was the stuff I prepared for us but to his liking. It really is in the small stuff. The stuff most people do not even take into consideration when you love someone.

I knew I should've saved it and read it once my own heart is healed now you got me ugly crying at midnight while listening to Last Kiss by TS 😭💔

Love truly lingers in the mundane tiny things that we don't pay much attention to while still with our loved one, it's like their absence sheds a lights on all the little ways that they've altered our lives and that hurts more than all the gifts and flowers and grande gestures.

For me it's a song. Anytime I hear it, all the memories we shared flood in and I'm washed with despair all over again.

It's been months but here I am, still grieving their absence.

It’s Ok, life moves us into and out of different loves and situations, as it should. There is no need to worry or cry, but remembering is OK too; we all cry and laugh sometimes, our human nature

What an awfully painful but beautiful read. I feel you with every inch of my body, take the time to grief and find yourself in the messy middle - you got this ❤️

Thank you for sharing your love, heartache and tears! It’s beautiful 💙 I had wished I would have taken the time to capture my writing when I was in the midst of my biggest breakup. He painted my world and brought so much meaning to life.
