Alina my love, we met in October 2022 the weekend after your 44th birthday. My first two nights with you, all we did was talk, for hours. I could not remember another time in my life when I have just felt absolutely tractor beamed to somebody. As we shared more and more stories those two nights, I knew by the end of the second one, that you were somebody I wanted to spend a lot of time with. I was 100% into you. Your air of independence, your witty and snarky sense of humor,  how gorgeous and beautiful you are and most of all...your care, dedication and respect to others and the community.
The third night, was the night that you told me you had cancer. You caught me eyeballing the bruising from your port, which I was thinking was a hickey. The moment you said port, I knew exactly what you were telling me. You strongly and with your chin up, told me about your situation. The thoughts and feelings that I already had towards you quadrupled. I knew then that I WAS going to spend as much time with you as possible. And we did. The last 3 1/2 years have been some of the best years of my life. After just the first six months, I started feeling stuff that I've never felt before. I realized that I have never been cared and loved for the way that I need to be by a partner. You gave that to me. How far you would go out of your way, just to make me laugh and smile because you knew I had a hard day. How you would hold me tight in such a warm and loving embrace. How many nights we laughed until we cried and our stomachs hurt. You communicated SO well and very respectfully. Of course we got upset at each other from time to time, but we never escalated into a fight. There was just too much respect and love. I do not regret a second of it, it has been an absolute honor and blessing to have stood by your side through this journey. And at the end to care for you and hold your hand until you took your last breath. We had a very strong and beautiful relationship. I will carry that in my heart and mind for the rest of my life. Rest in peace, my little squirrel. 💕💕💕💕💕
