I love looking at this special photo of Dawne and me because it really captures what we had together. It was never just a marriage; it was a true, deep partnership and a bond that did not even need words. Even though she passed away in December 2016, that amazing connection we shared does not just disappear. She was my person, my partner, and the true love of my life, and keeping memories like this close to my heart means everything to me.

This picture really says it all for me when I look back at it. It captures the incredible bond I have with Dawne absolutely perfectly. It is not just about being husband and wife, but about being true partners who always balance each other out, which you can easily see right here with her bright smile and my serious look. Building this beautiful life together has been the best part of my entire journey.
