It has been 29 months, and it is only now hitting me that he's gone FOR GOOD. Memory loss means he fades a little more each day, and with him, parts of my life. It is bittersweet because one must begin anew, yet I am growing up and loving this brand-new kind of me. 🩶🤍❤️🤍🩶

My Partner I am certain I'd still be me without him. 🙄 I swear I am happier everyday I see his eyes look into mine, everyday. Every fibre of my being longs to be in his embrace, even as I tweet. I love him ❤️ In fact. Happy #FridayFeeling y'all ❤️🇸🇿🏳️‍🌈
