{ my heart }

It's aching.  An incredible man left this earth much earlier than I could ever fathom.  He was a man of faith, of conviction, of steadfast love and devotion. His laugh was like no other, and he found a way to bring out the very best laughs from all those he encountered.

More than anything, he was an amazing husband and partner to my dearest friend Brooke.

And while 10 days as husband and wife was not long enough, I know the love they share is eternal.

It's hard to come up with words, but your words say it all. Brooke is a lucky girl to have you girls as her friends. My thoughts are (and have been) with all of you.
