"Hey baby, whatcha lookin' at?"

I looked down at the old and tattered piece of paper. Then I looked up at my lovely Collins, "I'm looking at a list my momma gave me… wanna see?" He smiled and I scooted over on our couch. He sat down, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"She gave me eight things to live by… she wanted me to teach people how to love themselves and others… and, and… to," I couldn't quite think of the words… "Well she wanted me to be happy and live my life to the fullest I could."

Collins kissed my cheek, "Your momma sounds like she was a smart woman." I smiled.

Yeah, she really was.

"She'd really love you, Collins. If she saw how happy you made me... She'd be so happy I finally found the missing piece of my soul."

"I love you so much, my Angel."

"I love you too, Collins."

END.
