The loneliness and sadness I experience in Dawnie's absence is beyond words. I miss her deeply. We were perfectly matched; she was the person I wanted to share every moment of my life with, and my happiness in that connection was immense. Each day, I eagerly anticipated her waking up, and that excitement remained unwavering from the first day we met until the day she passed away. Life was beautiful, despite her struggles with addiction and the challenges that came with it. She was my partner, my companion, my best friend—truly my matching puzzle piece. The longing to be with her is overwhelming. There are simply no words to express the emptiness, loneliness, and void I have felt for the past eight years. This was never a situation I wished for, nor was it a choice; had it been up to me, I would have spent all eternity with that beautiful woman. Her loss has left an indescribable emptiness and void in my heart.
