Day 11: Things I'll Never Forget About Lori

Her Constant Companionship

There is no doubt that Lori had a way of making me feel loved and appreciated like no one had ever done before, but I think what I miss the most about her right now is just her constant and complete companionship.

Through every up and down of our lives together I never once felt I had to go it alone. She showered me with undying devotion, and I, in turn, did the same to her.

We shared the rare love that goes unquestioned. The rare marriage untarnished by petty arguments. The rare peace that is completely untouched by anger.

Ours was a relationship of sincere respect, adoration, and sublime sweetness of heart.

Lori's constancy in my life; her physical presence when I crawled out of bed in the morning, her phone calls "just to say I love you" during the day, and the warmth of her body next to mine while we snuggled on the couch every evening are all things that I am struggling hard to come to terms with as they haunt me with each passing day.

The memories remain both enticingly sweet in their content, and decidedly melancholy with the constant marching of time.
