You have a very articulate way of writing, and so much is expressed in few lines....those first two lines gave such impact because when we do lose something, it's permanent and everlasting, and that can be hard to swallow and move on still remembering them though.

Ah the second stanza was so sweet, our loved ones definitely do leave behind a legacy that will be treasured. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Just like you wrote in the last stanza, all we can do is take each breath at a time and each day at a time. The pain and aching is there but they'll always be with us in spirit. Take care <3
