forever. We packed so much into the short time we had together. His
illness made him live completely in the moment and he taught me to do
the same.
He died in my arms and I felt his last breath. My heart is broken

if they were his own. They loved him so much too.
I have no regrets – we accepted what was going to happen and we
savoured every single second we had together. At his funeral we played
his favourite song Robin S – Show Me Love. That’s all he ever did was
show everyone he met love. I miss him every moment of every day.”
