Our love was deep, adventures were endless, and our time together will forever be too short
October 16, 2024, was a day that changed our lives forever. 23 days after getting engaged we heard the words “You have cancer” We spent what should have been the most exciting and special time in our lives in and out of the hospital, attending doctors’ appointments, and enduring the stress of endless blood draw results.
March 7, 2025, will forever be a day I dread, thank you for your strength and positivity even until your last moments always reassuring me you were okay
Thank you for showing me what true love really means, I will love you forever Tommy 🤍
Thank you to @hotshot_up for honoring Tommy this past weekend 🤍
He always loved this event, and never in a million years did I think one day I would be on the receiving end of it.
Losing Tommy has changed everything, but I am forever grateful for organizations like @hotshot_up that continue to celebrate his life and remind me that he will never be forgotten.

365 days ago, I walked out of the hospital without you and without ever really saying goodbye. Since that day, I have spent every moment searching for you in my life, wishing you would walk back through the door, hoping to hear your loud laugh again, and longing to talk just one more time.
There are things about grief that can never truly be explained unless you have lived it; the heaviness that sits behind every second of your day and the energy it takes just to keep moving forward.
Grief has been one of the most isolating and exhausting experiences of my life, and as I continue to live life without you, I promise to live it because of you 🤍
12 months 💔I love you and I miss you
I’m ready for you to come home
11 months without you 💔
Forever holding onto these memories from when we first started dating✨ I love you and I miss you
10 months without you 💔
Some of my favorite memories live in the small moments inside our big adventures. You had a way of making the simplest experiences unforgettable.
Loving you was always easy, always fun, and never dull.
Missing those eyebrow raises everyday
I love you and I miss you 🤍

One year ago today, you asked me to marry you
As I hiked this trail again today and crossed over the bridge where you got down on one knee, all I could think about was how the ring you gave me represented so much.
It represented a full life together, hope for a future, and the promise to love one another until the end.
This was never the story we imagined and never the story we deserved
I love you 🤍
