I thought of you with love today,
but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
and days before that too.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories
and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake,
with which I’ll never part.
God has you in His keeping
And I have you in my heart

Missuou so much Al love always Kim xxx

Alan, it’s been four years since you left me on this day in 2022, but the pain still feels so fresh. I miss you more than words can say, especially today. Your love, your smile, and your presence are forever etched in my heart. I hope you’re at peace in heaven, watching over me as I carry your memory with me every day. I love you more than words can say, Alan, and I’ll always hold you close in my heart.
All my love always Kim xxx

Although it’s sad to reminisce
On Christmases we knew
This year I shall celebrate
In memory of you
I will put aside my sorrow
With every unshed tear
And concentrate on all the love
We shared when you were here
Our time together taught me
What Christmas time is for
And that’s what I’ll remember
Until we meet once more
Love always Kim x

The day we said goodbye
And on that day a star was born,
The brightest in the sky
Reaching through the darkness
With its rays of purest white
Lighting up the Heavens
As it once lit up my life
With beams of love to heal
The broken heart you left behind
Where always in my memory
Your lovely star will shine

Love you alway kim xxc

Since you're gone, Christmas time will never be the same.
When asked what I wish for, I can only speak your name.
The only gift I ever want at Christmas time for me
Is my precious, loving Alan beside my Christmas tree,
And as the world rejoices with songs of Christmas cheer,
I'll gently hold your memories close and wipe my Christmas tear.
So lucky are the angels to have you up above,
Right beside their Christmas tree; my Alan's their gift to love.

My love always kim xx
