Reading them felt like opening a window in a dark house. He wrote about the small moments I never knew he noticed—the way I brewed coffee, held his hand in the hospital, or snorted when I laughed too hard. Each post captured our life together with humor, love, and care.
The last post, written months before his death, chilled me: “If I ever go first, I hope she finds this one day.” He described noticing everything I did, my habits, my quirks, and left instructions for me to feel loved, even after he was gone. I cried, but also smiled—he was still caring for me, even from beyond.
I printed every post and put them in a scrapbook beside our wedding album. For the first time in years, grief felt less suffocating. I even started a Twitter account called Letters To Him, sharing my discovery. Strangers responded with their own stories of loss and love, creating a shared chorus of remembrance.
Then I learned about a GoFundMe he’d quietly started for me, three years before his death, totaling $24,800. Instead of spending it on myself, I hosted a community dinner called “A Table for Everyone,” feeding widows, lonely elders, and families—honoring his love for people and food.
The dinners grew into a community tradition, with a Story Wall for sharing memories. Acts of kindness he’d performed years earlier, like helping a stranger with $20, returned to support this space.
