Epilogue - Oyasumi Nasai

Dear Journal,

Iria gave me a piece of advice on my wedding day that I've tried never to forget. 'Never take for granted those you love.' I am ashamed to admit that I haven't lived up to that sentiment. In the past few months, I've taken Trowa for granted all too often. But I realize that now. And all it took to remind me was the perfect day.

For my Lover's Day present, Trowa didn't go out and buy me a gift. He didn't take me out on a date. He didn't do any of the traditional things. Instead, we stayed home and stayed together all day. It was the most wonderful gift anyone has ever given me. We watched a sappy movie; we played duets; we watched the sunset. And we talked. And we cuddled. And I've fallen in love with him all over again.

I can't say I'll never take him for granted again. I wish I could. I can't even say that I'll remember to pay attention to the small things, like he does. But . . . I'm going to try. For him. For us.

Of all the days I've ever spent alive, the only one that rivaled this for happiness was the end of the war. And even that comparison is as a candle compares to the sun. Trowa makes my life complete and happy. I don't think I'd be able to survive without him somewhere in it. I don't just feel him with my uchuu no kokoro. He *is* my uchuu no kokoro. He is my life and my soul and I love him wholeheartedly. I don't think I'll ever grow tired of saying those words, either to him or to myself.

He's calling me for bed, though. I think I shall enjoy tonight, no matter if we make love or simply cuddle. He's reminded me what a joy it is just being near him.

Reminder to myself: Never take Trowa for granted and pay attention to the small things. Of everything I can think of, those are the two lessons today that matter.

Oyasumi nasai,
