It’s been a year since you left. In some ways, it feels like it was just yesterday; in others, it feels like a lifetime ago. I remember every detail of that day vividly, but I've tried hard to focus on the days since.

At first, moving on felt like an impossible task. I spent so many nights replaying memories and missing the future we planned together. But as the days turned into months, something shifted. I began to understand that while I can't change the past, I can shape my future.

Slowly, I started to rebuild my life. I surrounded myself with friends who lifted me up and family who stood by me. Nagkaayos na kami nila mom and dad. I already accepted the fact that they both have a new family and I'm happy for them.

I found solace in simple joys, sunrises, new hobbies, and unexpected moments of laughter. I've learned to embrace the small victories, whether it's mastering a new skill or simply getting through a tough day.

I still think about you often, and sometimes the grief hits hard, but I’ve come to realize that it's okay to be happy again. My heart has room for both the love I had and the new experiences I’m creating. I'm finding beauty in the process of moving forward, not because I’ve forgotten you, but because I’m learning to live in a way that honors our memories and cherishes the future.

Life isn’t the same without you, but it's becoming something beautiful in its own way. I’m learning that happiness and grief can coexist, and each day is a step toward a future where I carry both with me.

I love you, Theron, my love.

the end.
