What a great thought-provoking post. This one hit home big time. I spent most of my life being who I thought I was supposed to be, living up to other’s expectations. The three years living and loving my fiancee changed all that. She helped me discover who I really am by accepting my strengths and weaknesses. Allowing me to just be me.

After she died and I had a chance to read her journals I discovered she was the same person I knew while she lived. No pretenses, no hidden agendas.

I didn’t think my love for her could be any deeper than it was but after reading her deepest thoughts and desires, I was wrong.

I look forward to reading more of your work.
