Looking back, I ask myself, “Were there signs?” since my spouse was a highly accomplished, focused, and determined individual who was also a really decent person.
He always pushed himself and was quite harsh on himself. It definitely caught me off surprise since there were no indications.
“I received a ton of messages after he passed away from people saying that we looked so happy and that they always wanted what we had.”
According to Isabel, Christopher proposed to her after completing a marathon and was eager to tie the knot in September before his departure the following month.
Because of Christopher’s work, Isabel said they often spent months apart, and he sent her letters every day.
Every every day, he wrote to me to share his day, almost as if he were speaking to me. Isabel said, “He would ask me about my day knowing that I couldn’t respond.”
