John was and will always be a very special person in our lives. He was the most beautiful gift God could have given me, and sharing 18 years by his side was not in vain. I learned so much from him — from the way he dedicated himself to his family, to the way he served God with his heart. He lived his life fully, just as he wanted to live it, never holding back when it came to loving, helping, or giving. If he could do something for someone, he did it without hesitation, and that is a testimony of the generous and noble heart that God placed in him.
I thank the Lord for allowing me to walk beside him, to build memories that will remain in our hearts forever, and for the blessing of having seen his example as a husband, father, and servant of God. Though our hearts ache, I hold onto the promise that one day we will meet again, because in Christ there is eternal life. Until then, I will carry his love, his teachings, and his joy with me, grateful to God for the time we were given together.
