Our Story by Rachel Hernandez 

We had 9,273 days together. It is our unique love story full of love, joy, tears, confusion, silly teasing, tough talks, fun celebrations, disappointments, petty arguments, inside jokes, questionable behavior and crazy passion.

I’ll miss cooking delicious food together, the surprise late night snackers, Hearing you sing the wrong words to songs. Dancing when you hear music, even if it’s a commercial. Our cozy movie nights, watching the same 5 movies, and doing an impression “ I’m your huckleberry”  I’ll miss spooning w you & you making a beeping sound as I scooted close to you. Telling me to back it up. Every Valentines, bday & mothers day, you always came home w flowers &/or balloons to make me feel special.

We had an undeniable rare connection. We finished eachothers sentences, read each others thoughts, Cracked each other up, desired & cared for eachother. We fought hard and loved even harder. We learned to hold on tight through a storm. Having faith in each other made us stronger.

Then having our son JJ added so much excitement, happiness, amazing fun, some fear & chaos. He taught us patience & showed us how to love eachother in a whole new way as Mama & Daddy bear. He solitified our bond forever as a family. Our story was even more remarkable than we could’ve imagined. I wish I could write a different ending to our story. It is not up to us, our story is written by faith. It seems God has completed our story here on earth together.

I learned in these final months, that what really matters is how we spent our time together. What’s written in our pages is between us.

I will rebuild a life with JJ knowing your watching over us.

I will always cherish each day & night I spent with you. Yes even the bad ones. You made me feel beautiful, needed, safe & strong. Your memory & legacy will live on through everyone who loved you. And some of those you scared. Your legacy & spirit will be continued in JJs own story.

Gracias mi amor por cada dia y noche. And if you thought 9273 days was a long time just wait til we spend eternity together in heaven.

 I Love You LaLa, my Amories, Daddy bear.

Your wifey Rae Rae, Raccoon, Bootsie, Mama bear  ❤️
