Missing My Betsy
Most of you don't know me (expect for what Betsy has mentioned in posts), but my name is Joe--Betsy's long-time boyfriend. I know that she loved her Humzoo blog, and it has brought me great joy over the past few days to read her entries.I think you all know how amazing of a person she was. She made me happy for the first time in my life. I just can't believe she's gone. The void is almost too much to bare right now.
Though it feels like little consolation, Betsy was able to save eight lives with her organs. She was very adamant about being an organ donor and I'm glad we were able to honor her wishes.
I'm planning to continue her blog for the time being. I feel it will be very therapeutic as I try to pick of the pieces of my shattered heart and soul.
I ask of you a favor, Humzoo community--please don't forget her. Please continue to post comments and stories about her. I feel it is my duty to carry on her legacy, but I can't do it alone. Can you help me in this request?
In the meantime, I will part on these words. Betsy, I love you with all of my being. God took you away too soon, but I am sooo lucky to have had you in my life for the past three years. You are the love of my life and I will cherish your memory until I can hold you again in heaven.
I'm so sorry. For you. For Betsy's family. For Betsy's friends (and there must be SOOO many of them). For us, Betsy's humzoo family.
She was a positive force in this world. And God knows we need all the positive forces we can get.
She will be sorely missed.
My heart and prayers are with you and her family.
Bless you.
Joe, I'm so sorry for your loss. I honestly can't imagine what you are going through right now, and I wish you peace. Since we all met Betsy, you've been kind of like extended family around here--I do hope you'll stick around. Humzoo really is like family.
My hope for you is knowing that you, too, were the love of her life, and I hope that we will get to know you even more via her blog here. I'm sure we all look forward to it. Peace to you and her family/friends. XO
