No words can define or describe the love that Brett and I shared. We connected in a way that goes beyond romance, friendship, and anything we had ever shared before. When we met, we knew we were made for each other; Love at first sight. The more time we spent together we knew we were soulmates meant to be together for eternity.
Brett and I shared everything. He was my world, my life, my reason for being. He made me look at life in such a way that only he could do. He made me want to be a better person and he made me feel as if I could do anything. Brett was a gift from God that I had prayed for and only dreamed about.
When Brett and I married, he told me that our love was eternal not "until death do us part". We knew how strong our love was and love conquers all.
We used to sit and talk about how much promise our future had to hold. We talked about having children and how we would raise them. We talked about growing old together and how everyday we were together was too good to be true. Everyday Brett would ask, "Are you happy today?", and of course I would tell him, "I was the happiest and luckiest person in the world because I was with him".
There were times that Brett and I would just be sitting down holding each other and I would ask him if this is real because it felt too perfect, too wonderful. But it was real.
Brett had so much love, it just radiated out of him. In the evening we would sometimes turn soft music on and slow dance in the living room for no reason, just because. We embraced every minute we were together because we loved each other so much.
Many people go through life never to experience True Love. Well I did. Brett and I had the purest love a husband and wife could ever have. My cousin, Rev. Johnny Hughes that married Brett and I asked me a question . He asked me "If you knew that you would only have 4 months with Brett, would you have still married him?" Without hesitation I said, "YES! OH YES!"
Brett's favorite movie was City of Angels. He told me that movie was the closest description of his love for me; to give up eternity for one day. Well he will always have my heart just as I will have his love for all eternity.
Brett gave me and everyone he knew the greatest gift he could give. He gave us his love. Brett will always be the best husband, son, brother, and friend anyone could ever have. People go through life wishing they had told this person how they felt before something like this. But Brett knew how special he was and how loved he was. That's why it's so important for us to cherish Brett, to spread his kindness and gentleness to each other. He would want us all to remember how he touched our lives and remember all of the "little" things in life count. Embrace each day and live life to the fulliest.
I will love you forever Brett! |
