     We spent only seven days as Husband and Wife, but they are the seven days I look back on most fondly. I have never known the kind of long suffering pain that drew you to heroin, nor have I ever known what pain the drug itself can cause. I could only watch your torment and try to be there as best I could and try to understand as much as anyone who's life isn't ruled by the needle can. I honestly thought you had the strength to resist it's pull this time ................a straight 4 1/2 months clean! But something drove you to make that call and drift back into your hellish world. In deciding to cut your recovery short you also cut your life short - and our life together. I've looked for answers and asked questions, I still don't know exactly why you gave up on yourself that day - everything seemed to be working out and you were happier then I had ever seen you in the 5 previous years I knew you. Our loss of a lifetime together will always cause me pain, but I am comforted to know your demons have finally been put away and your soul is at peace. I will love you forever and never forget you. Eternally yours my precious one, Your sweet little angel (and now you are mine)..............
