Gigi Levangie Instagram – How does one begin the impossible…
Happy Birthday to my beautiful husband, Christophe. My love, my joy, my soulmate, my confidante, my friend, my everything. Chris passed away on May 14th of this year. We who loved him, and there are many, many of us, are heartbroken and still in shock.
Chris always promised that we would grow old together. Well, that I would grow older and he would grow old. He talked about his future grandchildren and sometimes nagged the boys to hurry up and give him a grandson or granddaughter. I can safely say Chris passed at the peak of his happiness, and ours. He was so proud of his sons, Thomas and Patrick, whom he loved fiercely and unconditionally from the beginning. And equally proud of his nephews, Frankie and Jonathan. He cherished his mother, Sylvie, and grandmother, Renee, whom he’d call every single morning.
My darling, my sweetheart, I can’t believe you would skip out on your birthday celebration – you were so into your birthdays! We celebrated your 50th in the summer of 2021 with a big party and now I celebrate alone. Yet not alone. We celebrate without you here. We celebrate that you existed, that you were born, that you lived, that we were so privileged to walk this life with you, that you showed us how to be loved and cherished and how to love and cherish and return. You were a man amongst men with a child’s enthusiasm. For new things, new hats, new boots, new trucks, new zero turn mowers. New Italian loafers. New places. New ways of living.
And now, you’re gone.
And so is the dream that we were building together. You had the vision, honey, and I went along for the ride and oh, what a ride it was. I love you Chris, I love you now and forever and I know that one day we’ll see each other again and I look forward to that day if only so I can berate you for leaving me way too soon. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye; I’ll never be ready.
You never know how many tears you have until you love so greatly.
Love,
Wifey.
