I lost my fiance. He was my everthing, my North Star my muse.

Its very raw and unreal, surreal.

And I will miss him forever

Listen to poem:

My love has fled his earthly body he slipped away in the night and of course it's him I long to talk to to make everything seem right We only had five months of reconnecting but it changed our worlds outright I know its the happiest I have been in my life and he told me it was the same for him He fueled me and counciled me sexed me up and tousled me made me feel special and he my prince And I was his princess, his sweet and with him I was complete so there is a huge hole in me as I look within I had no map forward in life that did not include him the mere concept simply eluded and the thought of a trail or a path confuses now because its so bleak Because I can tell you, that man was my everything and i can't say it any more plain and I know I was his everything I love you Alan Grant Edmunds Harris. I think we will be together again. - Susan Manley (C) Artimus 11-17-23 11:53AM

Were you expecting it? Oh gosh so tragic Susan. I just lost my mom a few weeks ago and my dad is dying as we speak. Lovely tribute poem

I went through similar circumstances a few years ago with my parents...they passed away only three months apart. It was tough. My heart goes out to you, Tom.

We knew it was possible, but thought we would make it. We wanted time together. So its a shock. I am sure he did not want to go. He was only 64, '
