Thanks gilders and the others. During the last 2 times in which my beautiful Phil played pool on earth, I was with him. His last time was with Lisa T's son.
In this video, at the last minute at 3:43:54 you can see Phil until the end of the video. This is where he met Andy, the friend who wrote the beautiful tribute above.

Thanks Gab. It was taken 14 months before he passed. Actually until his last month, my beautiful Phil never looked as sick as he really was.
In the attached picture, My sweetie is 5 weeks before he passed.

Today 2 years ago, was my sweetie's funeral. I share what I wrote then:

this is my funeral for you sweetie <3


Couple of days ago, I wrote and sent to Phil's mother, something from me, to read at the reception after the funeral. Since then I made some little changes, but the poems remains the same.
This is what I wrote and going to share here, in honor of my beautiful man.


♡♡♡


Sweetie,


My beautiful hero, my sweet love, my prince Phillip, the first, the one and the only ♡


you gave me so much, you saved me and you healed my wounded soul. I am forever grateful to God for every second that I was blessed just to be with you. I wish I could have healed you. I would have given you my lungs if I only could have cured you.


I wrote to you lots of love poems. Many of them are too private to share. I choose 3 to share and also wrote new one few days ago.


Whenever you were reading my love poems to you, you were "smiling big".


So smile again and again, your cute melting smile, from your good place in heaven, and let my love embrace you, like we always used to say: "to infinity and beyond".


♡♡♡


First Poem is from relatively the beginning of our love:


***
her world was so lonely, alienated and cold
Forever confined she, to live in this odd
She couldn't imagine such tender kind grace
Until God have decided her soul to embrace
Her unspoken prayers got amazing reply
(you probably understand what I am trying to imply)
And now she is praying to God for his cure
Oh, please God, please help him, his soul is so pure.

I loved skyping with my sweetie. we were skyping some days for hours. Talking and being quiet, laughing and crying, and praying, and reading the forum together and eating…. Once he even went to sleep while I was with him on skype…. I watched him sleeping in the Batcave for more then an hour…. Here is poem that was being created from skype hours….


***


The sound of your voice is so deep and so warm
Making thrill in my heart, and a feeling of home
Your smile is so sweet, with your dimples, so cute
The beauty of you, makes me almost being mute
Your eyes are so good, wise and decent and kind
your soul is the best soul I ever may find.


********************


Next poem is from the time my sweetie started to feel worse and we decided that when he will feel that he needs me, I will buy tickets and come to him. and so it was. He told me that he needed me on Friday night (my time) and I was with him the next Friday. (His morning). Actually I could have been there before, if there was no war in Israel at that time.


***


Through fire and steam, through storm, water and flood,
I will go for you, my beautiful man, because you are so good,
Bare feet on sizzling coals, miles and miles, will I walk,
Just to help you to feel better…. Because you are my rock.


**************


The last poem is from the last week, while crying and missing him so much
****


God have created you so perfect all over
And he designed me to love you, beyond any border
Beyond time, beyond space, beyond living and death
With every beat of my heart, while I am taking every breath
I am praying for the time that I can hold you again
To be one with your sweet soul. to eternity. AMEN.


RIP my beautiful Batman. I love you. To infinity. & beyond ♡

I love them all.
You are very clever, even more so when English is your second language

[Titus3:2]

Alysia,your loyalty,and love for Phil are admirable.Some people move on quickly after the loss of their significant other,and others never do.I don't think there is a right or wrong,were this is concerned.We will never forget Phil.You do have a lot of savoir faire in any language.Wishing you the best.

[Alysia]

Thank you. So kind and sweet of you.
I just hope that Dirty Don (he is the English teacher, isn't he ?) Is not shrinking from my poor grammer....

[Pete]

Just understand that your English is better than Don's Hebrew -- probably. 😎
