In Remembrance of Elizabeth Jackson

2003 - 2018

You were my everything. My day, My night. My sun. My moon. You outshined the stars in the night sky. You were and always will be my love. The one who broke down my walls. The one who made me feel alive. I’m sorry I couldn’t save you. I have so many things that I wish I could have said. If only I had known how fragile life was. May the heavens welcome you with open arms. May the divines hold you close. 

If I were to try to express how much I loved you, I would never succeed. There is no amount of words that could ever properly express the depth of my love for you. When the world was against us, we had each other. You were my other half. And now, I am alone. 

I feel like I may be rambling, but I need this. I need to feel close to you. Everyone says that you wouldn’t want me to be hurting. What about what I wanted? I wanted you to stay. I wanted to hold you. To kiss you. To tell you everything would be okay. And I’m sorry. Maybe if I had noticed sooner then you would still be here. I think a part of me knew it would end like this, but that doesn’t mean that it didn’t break me. 

I miss you. 
Søren misses you. 
Kingsley misses you. 

You were loved by so many people. You were cherished by so many. But none of them will understand. None of them had what we had. I will never be the same. Nothing will ever be the same. So, I will leave you with the blessing you gave me when I was at my lowest. 

“May the sun hold you in an eternal embrace. May the moon sing you to sleep. May the stars in the sky be your final goodbye.” 

I love you. I miss you. One day. One day, I’ll see you again. 

Rest in peace, my love. 

Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it. If a man were to give all his substance for love, it would be utterly condemned.

- The Song of Solomon 8:7
