Seven years ago, in this exact spot at Jardin des Tuileries in Paris, my wife got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with her.
Today, I found that spot again.
I stood where one of the most beautiful chapters of my life began, only this time, I stood there without her.
I thought finding this place would completely break me, but instead, I felt grateful. Grateful that out of all the people in this world, I got to be chosen by her. Grateful that I got to know a love so deep that even death couldn’t erase it.
Seven years ago, we stood here dreaming about forever.
Back then, I thought forever meant growing old together. Now I understand that sometimes forever means carrying someone with you long after they’ve gone.
I found our spot, baby. 🖤
And for a moment, Paris felt like ours again.
You asked me forever right here—and my answer is still yes.
