A Personal Tribute to My HusbandThere are people who enter our lives and change the way our hearts beat. Edwin was that person for me — my best friend, my partner, my safe place. He loved me with a quiet strength, a steady patience, and a sincerity that made every season of our life together feel full and meaningful.His presence brought warmth into ordinary days. His laughter softened heavy moments. His love made me feel seen, understood, and cherished in a way only he could give. He was gentle, but strong. He was tired, but he fought. He was hurting, but he still loved with everything he had.This is the season of mourning — the season I never wanted to face. But even in this pain, I hold close the seasons he filled with joy, with memories, with small moments that became treasures. Edwin’s life was a gift. His love was a blessing. His heart was a home.And now, in God’s perfect timing, he has entered a new season — one without pain, without struggle, without fear. A season of peace. A season of rest. A season held in the arms of the One who makes all things new.I will carry him in every season ahead.In every quiet morning.In every difficult night.In every memory that reminds me how deeply we loved.Edwin’s season on earth was beautiful.His season with the Lord is eternal.And the love we shared remains — because love never ends.I love you and I miss you so much, Asawa. until we meet again. – Marife
