Week 3
Dear Eric,
It's been two days since I've written you and for that, I'm sorry. Life has been a little hectic but let me start off by saying that it's also good.
I don't think I'll ever get over losing you. You are the only man that I've ever loved. I was glad that you sauntered into my office that fateful day. That was the day that I fell in love with you. I want to hear you say 'My lover' everyday. I wait for it. I yearn for it. I want to hear you recite all of my likes and my dislikes. I want to wash your hair and your back. I want to cook you your favorite dinner. I want to ride you to complete and utter ecstasy. We'd been married for almost four years and nothing that we've ever done would compare to what we did this morning.
Our son is here; Eric Northman Jr.
I was in labor for two days and thank God, he came into this world this today. Your father and mother were there. And guess what, they're moving here so that they can be closer to their extended family. Jason and your dad paced the floor the entire time. Your mom said that your dad was a complete wreck. Gran knitted baby booties in the hospital waiting room and drank cup after cup of coffee. Pam, she was in the delivery room with me. Even Tara, Holly, and Kennedy came. Sam and Bill showed up with gifts and flowers. Last night was the best night ever.
The most important person of all was missing and that was you. You weren't there physically but I could feel you. When I was going through the pain of bringing our healthy, nine pound son into this world NATURALLY, I could feel you. Calm filled the room. Love filled me and it was because of you. When he came into this world, I wanted to live again. He looks just like you. When I saw his eyes, my breath caught in my throat. And Eric baby, when I looked into his eyes I did what I said I'd never do again. I fell in love. That little boy has stolen my heart. In only seconds, Eric, he's made me feel alive again.
And it's all because of you. Your love will see me through anything even if you're not here with me. I know that we will be fine. Life is so funny that way, isn't it? Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I'd ever be okay again.
Guess what?
I'm beginning to like Mondays again.
I may even give Fridays another chance.
I love you, Eric Northman.
I love you.
Giving life another chance,
Your wife,
Sookie N.
