You and Brian share a love that will last forever @lynncoyle and you cement that fact even further by writing your thoughts down and bravely sharing them with your friends here in Steemit. You write so beautifully and I'm sure what you do write is just a fraction of the wealth of memories stored within you which will remain with you forever. 8 years is so short but when you break them down to days and minutes, that's a huge treasure trove of precious memories which will help to ease the pain significantly.
