I could tell Paige had left cause I could feel the doctors checking up on me.

"Should we tell her," said one doctor.

"Not this close to the New Year," said the other "lets wait."

"Wait and tell me what," said Ashley.

Aug 2019-

The time seemed to have flown by because my daughter Kendal now fifteen and the Twins who I just saw being born were twelve. We were at some big party that I assumed was for Kendal.

"Thanks Dad for throwing me this," said Kendal.

"I would do anything for my princess," said Craig.

"Yea he would," said Manny.

"I love you guys so much," said Kendal.

The DJ announced a Father Daughter dance and Kendal and I lead it. I felt proud that my girl was becoming a woman.

~~

Present-

"That he isn't responding," said the doctor.

"You mean he could die," said Ashley.

"We hope not," said the doctor.

"Let me be alone," said Ashley.

The doctor left.

"Craig you got to wake up," said Ashley, "I love you."

Spring 2022-

My daughter was walking across the stage in cap and gown graduating from High School.

"Kendal Manning," the Principal said as my girl grabbed her diploma. I looked at my wife and two sons and smiled. At the end of the ceremony Kendal came over to me.

"Dad," said Kendal, "I just found out I got into Harvard isn't that wonderful."

"I'm so proud," I said.

"Your speech was grate," said Manny.

"Thanks," said Kendal, "anyway I'm heading out with some friends."

"Ok," I said, "be safe."

"I will." said Kendel.

~~

Present-

It felt empty in the room but then I heard a voice.

"Craig," said Manny.

~~

Summer 2029-

"Are you ready," said Kendal looking at me. I realized she was a woman now about to be married.

"I am," I said.

I walked my girl down the isle looking at my wife who I realized had also aged very gracefully and my sons who were adults now too. I watched as my first-born said her vows and became another mans wife.

~~ Present-

I was pretty deep in my dream now. To me they were my reality.

"I keep saying this," said Manny, "but I'll always love you."

~~

Winter 2076-

I was in a room where Manny now an old woman was dieing.

"Craig," said Manny, "I knew from the time you asked me to dance at that eighties dance we'd be together forever."

"You did," I said.

"Yea,"said Manny, "and years later we have three children, tons of grandchildren, and all that love."

"I love you Manny," I said.

"I love you too," said Craig.

Manny died and my heart stopped and I died quickly after her.

~~

Present-

"No matter that your," said Manny as I opened my eyes.

"Your Alive," I said.
