Teddy Roosevelt’s diary entry from the day his wife, Alice, died.

Not only was he the most badass man to have ever existed…..

he’s the world’s biggest sweetheart

8C

His mother also died that morning of typhoid fever, just eleven hours before his first wife passed away.

Roosevelt was so distraught about her death and tried so hard to move past it that the only thing that he mentioned Alice in after this journal entry was this short, privately published tribute:

She was beautiful in face and form, and lovelier still in spirit; As a flower she grew, and as a fair young flower she died. Her life had been always in the sunshine; there had never come to her a single sorrow; and none ever knew her who did not love and revere her for the bright, sunny temper and her saintly unselfishness. Fair, pure, and joyous as a maiden; loving, tender, and happy. As a young wife; when she had just become a mother, when her life seemed to be just begun, and when the years seemed so bright before her—then, by a strange and terrible fate, death came to her. And when my heart’s dearest died, the light went from my life forever.
