Yea! My first Fanfic going up. Can you feel the excitement? Giggle Anyhoo...I guess I should say that I don't own HP nor am I earning money for my silly little fics.

Dearest,

For far too long, I had been nothing more than an empty shell taking up space on this planet. I would walk around, socialize and do thing things that were expected of me. The problem is, that was all I could do. When I was alone, I was truly alone. When I was with others, I was alone.

Until you came along. You brought out things in me that I didn't know existed. I could feel. What a frightening thought. I had gotten used to being numb. I apologize that it took me so long to stop pushing you away. Thank you for not giving up on me.

I will never understand what led you to befriend me. You are such a beautiful soul. Your friendship led to love and that was something I had resigned myself would never happen again. You give me such hope and joy.

Today, you have given me something no one else could and I will cherish this always. Hermione, my wife, thank you for bringing our son into this world.

Thank you for giving me hope.

Eternally,

Severus
