Words from Emily

”The love of my life. My protector. My partner in crime. My jokester.

We have a life time ahead of us. You are it for me, I've known from the moment I met you. We have plans. Our kitties and our boys need you, and I need you more than you know.

So now I need you to pull through for me and for us. I love you I love you I love you.

Please, if praying is what you do- do it. If you talk to the moon- do it. I don't care what it is but we need you to do it please”
