꧁ “All this love I have for you…I don’t know where to put it now that you are gone” - Lang Leav
Another year has gone by without you and it hasn’t gotten any easier
I know I should be looking back on your life with a smile and be proud of all you've accomplished but I cannot stop the terrible sadness I feel for you. And I cannot stop the tears from coming when I think of what could have been and what was taken from you and everyone who loved you on August 16th, 1977
I'm thinking about how you could have still been here. You would have been able to see your baby Lisa Marie grow up into the talented and beautiful woman she was. You would have been the one to teach her to drive and, most likely, the one to buy her first car. And I bet you would have been the happiest "grand-pappy" the day Riley was born and taken home from the hospital
You could have also celebrated your 88th birthday this year as an old man with grey hair, or maybe Larry Geller would still be dyeing it pitch-black for you. Maybe you would have been holding your great-granddaughter Tupelo to your chest while your loved ones surrounded you, singing happy birthday. You would have been even happier to be the “great-grandpappy”
But that’s not what happened for you or your family and it breaks my heart
Rather than growing old, you passed away at the age of 42
On that night, you kissed and put Lisa Marie to bed for the very last time, not knowing it would be your last, not knowing you'd be gone just hours later. You left this world alone and quietly in the early hours of the morning without a proper goodbye, leaving so much unsaid by the people who loved you and wanted you to know. You left feeling like you hadn’t done enough to be remembered but it’s now 46 years later Elvis, and you are just as loved as you were then
And I am so grateful to say that I am one of the many people you reached, who love you, and think about you every single day. The impact that you have left on me cannot even be measured or described. I will forever be indebted to you Elvis, and all the ways that you left this world more beautiful than you found it. Truthfully, I wouldn’t want to live in a world that wasn’t touched by you. You make the days more bearable with your music and your presence, and I know that whenever I need comfort or happiness I can find it in something you did
You were simply unique and completely irreplaceable… the world has felt so dull and so empty since you left it. I truly mean it when I say that I love you Elvis, and if there is a way, I hope you know just how much
I miss you more than words could be said, and I’ll miss you until my last breathe. Rest in peace my love
Moving on is a process and an experience and nightmare and eye opening and empowering and awful. It’s all that and more and letting myself feel the pain.
tracking says your mystery mail "flight departed".... tell me why my heart dropped in my chest and i got sad that i'm not on a departing flight to boston with it...... 🥺 SIGH. <3333
My wife……… my beloved wife who I miss dearly…….. in my mind we r snuggled under the covers in an apartment in New York telling secrets
thinking about when you showed me old photos of you as a teenager, as a child. long hair and dungarees and a goofy grin. the stupid skinny scarf you wore when you moved to the city and the hat a bouncer punched in cause you didn’t know any better. thinking about your baby pictures where your cheeks are round and pink and I remember balling my fists and seeing red because I could (and would) have killed anybody who hurt you. thinking about how you came back from the bathroom last spring chagrined, telling me I was right and you did look straight, like an accountant — puffy jacket, plain button down. drawn smile. I gave you my mother’s silver ring and you slipped it on your pinky. you still wear it, as far as I know, but you are almost a year and more than a world away now. I miss you and your light and have for some time. will I be seeing you again? I cannot know for sure but in the meantime I am holding you in my heart.
