A letter to my dearest Victoria on our seven year anniversary:
Victoria, my love, my friend with a little kinkiness and the most beautiful wife, you made my life complete with your enduring patience and understanding. Now, seven years have passed since I've lost you. I try to stay busy. My health has been good. But I think of you everyday.
The kids are fine. You're a great-grandma now to two children and one on the way (with Cassi).
Honey, I miss you so much. I'm getting teary eyed writing this. Have patience, I'll look for you when I'm ready.
We lost your brother, Joseph, about a year and half ago. He had a military funeral and lots of family and friends were present.
I don't like this time of year: Mother's Day, your birthday and our anniversary has come and gone so many times…much faster than I like. The nights are so long and quiet without you. I still remember when you would put your cold feet on my back at bedtime. You really got a kick out of that. All I have left are photos and memories of our life together. I'll always remember and cherish them, my love. I still hunger for your touch. See you in a bit.
Until then babe; see you when I see you. Love your husband, Ralph Perez
