No one will ever replace my Chester. He will always be first in my heart besides Jesus of course.  From the first time I met him, I felt drawn  towards him and wanted to be in his company. We were friends first and hung out together before we became lovers and then husband and wife.

I will never forget the eye contact we made towards each other. We didn’t have to say a word to each other. He would look into my eyes with warm affection I knew I was loved and wanted and felt safe. Sometimes we didn’t even talk just gazed. He didn’t have to tell me he loved me, his eyes told me. He gazed at me like that even until the end.

I loved it when he would crack jokes using his dry sense of humor. It  lifted me up when I was having a down day even though I didn’t admit it.  I used to tell  him sometimes they were silly jokes but I loved them anyway.

I loved his warm body next to mine especially at night. Hearing him breathe and feeling his heart beating made me feel so warm and secure inside that nothing was going to hurt me and that everything was alright.  I miss the way he would put his arms around to me to comfort me whenever I needed comforting. When I lost Mom,it was the first time I had ever lost someone that close to me, he was right there for me. He didn’t speak many words of comfort, he didn’t need to but instead he would put his arms around me as tight as he could and just hold me. How I miss that warm body next to me. Without him now I always feel cold and lost.

He was always dependable whenever something needed to be done and he did it without really complaining. He made sure the bills were paid on time and that finances were were well managed. He would always buy me my Tim Horton’s latte whenever would go into Timmy’s and always supply me with my chocolate.

He was good father who loved his kids immensely, always worried about them and always wanting the best for them trying at the same time not to spoil them. And he loved his grandchildren too. Always bringing goodies home for them that he would find that he thought they may like.

He loved the people he worked with. He would always talk about them in glowing terms calling them his second family. He looked forward to going to work and spending each day with them. I always loved listening to him talk about work.

Chester was,is, and always will be a very special guy to me. I will never stop loving him. I know he will never stop loving me as well. My one and only true love, my soulmate.

He will never stop loving his kids and grand kids and he will never stop loving those he worked with.

No, no one will ever replace my Chester!
