Today, June 8th, marks the one-year anniversary of my husband's death and I can hardly form the right words to describe just how much I miss him every single day.
He was my best friend, looking out for me and always making me laugh, whether it was intentional or not. He was my confidant, sharing all of our insecurities and reassuring each other without hesitation. He was my teacher, showing me all of the things I know now and sharing all the things in life that made him happy. He was my motivator, my cheerleader, my biggest source of comfort, and my rock. He was, quite literally, everything to me, and not a day goes by that I don't wish I could tell him that again just to hear him stubbornly wave it off as just what you do when you love someone.
Though we are apart, I just want to believe he can still see me. That he's happy and knows that, while it hurts being without him, I've done everything I can to keep his memory alive. Not just on his channels, but in what he's taught me and how I choose to live my life without him.
He was the embodiment of excitement with his passion for comics and life and that excitement poured into everything he did, impacting the lives of everyone around him. I'm eternally grateful to everyone for helping me and the team carry on his legacy in his memory. It's in all our hearts and minds that he lives on and even without him here, it's in sharing our passions and kindness with each other that his presence still continues to grow.
Wherever you are, Ben, I just want you to know how loved you are and always will be.
