You HAVE To Read Taya Kyle’s Birthday Tribute To Her Late Husband.

They say that time heals. I think that’s true…when someone you love dies, at first you feel as though you’ll never be able to get past the ache and the pain, and then slowly, over time, the wound isn’t quite as raw anymore. If you pick at it and poke around it the pain returns, but never quite as intensely as it was when the wound was fresh. It becomes easier to think fondly about experiences you had with that person because instead of being hurt that you no longer have a chance to make new memories, you’re grateful to have had the experiences that you did.

Yesterday would have been Chris Kyle’s birthday, and Taya wrote a tribute to him that is just beautiful. BEHOLD:

Here are screenshots in case the embedded post doesn’t work for you.

What a hopeful, sweet tribute.
