Years had passed since Lily's passing, but Jack still felt the pain of her absence. He had thrown himself into his advocacy work, spreading awareness about the disease that had taken his love and raising funds for research. It gave him a sense of purpose, a way to honor Lily's memory and make a difference in the world.

But despite his busy schedule, Jack couldn't shake off the feeling that something was missing in his life. He missed Lily's laughter, her warm embrace, the way her eyes sparkled when she looked at him. He longed for the connection they shared, the deep and abiding love that had sustained them through the toughest of times.
