It\u2019s been over 42 years since you crossed over with Malcolm, and although we\u2019ve never lost touch with each other \u2013 thank you so much for that! \u2013 I have finally reached the point where I\u2019m willing to express my love and my grief so that everyone will know how much you have meant to me.<\/p>\n<p>I was always so proud to have you as my wife, and so proud of the growth you made as a woman throughout those years. Much more growth than me! You were a wonderful mother, and I know how much it hurt you when you were away from Malcolm, even as you loved and supported me. I was a very lucky man.<\/p>\n<p>You and Malcolm will always be deep in my heart, where people love their most true. I love you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">* * * * *<\/p>\n<p>Hi, my precious little man. It\u2019s been 42 years since I\u2019ve been able to share my love for you here. It occurred to me that I have words of memorial for others whom I cared about, but not in the same way I\u2019ve always cared about you. So here goes:<\/p>\n<p>There are no words to describe how much I love you. Any parent knows what I\u2019m feeling. I have always held you in the deepest part of my heart, where you will always be safe, and protected. I love you.
