Ashley - I can’t believe I’m writing this.
It’s been one week since you were taken from me

. I am so lost and empty without you my love, my heart, my protector, my best friend. I was so grateful when you came into our lives and stepped up to be “el father” to Kels. You were always ready to help her with homework, play video games with her when she was bored, make sure she got to and from school safely, and most of all, watch her dance. We are deeply saddened that you won’t be watching her perform this weekend but I know you are watching above. There was never a moment I doubted your role in her life. You were so proud to call her your “daughter” and I was so happy to see your relationship blossom. That’s how I fell in love with you because of your pure and unconditional love for us both. You were always there for us, up front and center, with your encouragement and support. Our hearts are shattered, you were taken from us so soon. All our memories, experiences, laughs, talks, jokes, cries, and blissful moments will live forever in my heart. From our date nights, family gatherings, vacations, anniversary weekends, late night drives, last minute adventures, and just nights in on the couch together are moments I will cherish forever. I am in such disbelief that you are no longer here with us. Our home is empty without you. My days miss your laughter and smile and my nights miss your comfort and harmony. I hope you are watching over us and will continue to keep us safe. I promise to take care of our babies and give them extra love for you. I will never be ready to say goodbye, so until we meet again, I love you with all my heart and that’s where you will always be.
