MARTIN:
While Lucy was speaking I could barley listen all I could think about was the life Ruthie and I will share and when she finally asked for vows I was first.
Lucy:
I was so nervous but I think I did it well I dreaded the next step. The vows, I know I will cry.
MARTIN:
"Ruthie, I thought back how my teen years was with out you. When I first met you I was 16 and when my heart was dying from my breakup with Cecilia you were there mending it back we became close like brother and sister but as you were mending my heart you stole it and now you get to keep it. I was thinking that if you would have been there while I was just entering my teen years that maybe I would have been happier than I was when I first met you. You have my promise that I will always love you until the day that I die and you have my heart. I looked in her eyes the whole time. I ment every word because I Martin Brewer would always love Ruthie Camden.
RUTHIE:
As I listen to Martin I went back to the first kiss we've shared until he proposed I can't believe our life together is finally here and when he was done it was my turn.
"Martin I have been thinking about our relationship I feel so lucky to be with you to be in love with you. The first time I realized I loved you was when you were moving out and we hugged. It's weird how a simply gesture like a hug could make you see things much clearer I thought of why it took so long. I know it took awhile but now it's clear Martin and I promise to love you for all the days of my life. He looked at me and his face lit up I loved him so much it hurt and I get to spend the rest of my life with him.
ERIC:
It's official now and my baby is all grown up and I couldn't be more proud of her.
LUCY:
My baby sister is married and she is happier then ever.
It's been ten years and Martin and Ruthie have been on cloud nine with each other they have been through all the ups and down together and their love if possible grew stronger they had a baby boy within their first year of Marriage and they named him Justin Eric Brewer. Justin, Martin and Ruthie were a close family and they went through life together but one night broke them all up…
Martin and Justin were outside hitting baseballs when ten year old Justin ran to get the ball a car was hitting around the corner and Martin saw he ran and pushed Justin out of the way but Martin wasn't quick enough to get away Ruthie saw the whole thing happen and Justin got up to see his dead father lying on the street..
DAD! WAKE UP! NO!
RUTHIE:
I can't believe my husband is dead I always thought I would be the first to go but no I'm stuck here and my husband is now just a memory I see him everyday he haunts me I look at Justin and I swear I'm looking at him..
His early mornin' attitude:
You have to drag him out of bed.
Only frosted flakes will do,
He gets that from me:
Yeah, he gets that from me.
His curly hair and his knobbly knees:
The way the sun brings those freckles out.
Talk and talk, never miss a beat,
Yeah,he gets that from me:
He gets that from me.
He looks at me with those big brown eyes:
He's got me in the palm of his hands,
And I swear sometimes it's just like you're here again.
He smiles that little crooked smile:
There's no denying he's your child.
Without him I don't know what I'd do:
He gets that from you:
Oh, he gets that from you.
Tears were streaking down my checks as I watched my child play softball oh how I wish my husband would be here.
How he loves your old guitar:
Yeah, he's taught himself to play.
He melts my heart: tells me he loves me every day.
And cracks jokes at the perfect time,
Makes me laugh when I want to cry.
That boy is everything to me:
He gets that from you:
He gets that from you.
Justin's smile always makes me happy but when I think that Martin would never get to see him grow-up to become a wonderful man a man that his father became the tears are streaming back.
Last night, I heard him pray:
Lord, help me and mama make it through.
An' tell Daddy we'll be okay:
He said he sure misses you:
He sure misses you.
He really misses you:
He gets that from me.
He told me that dad would always live in our hearts and the feeling of reassurances took over me.
"I love you Martin."
MARTIN:
I see Justin at night asking me questions and saying that he knows I'm with him. He always says Dad I really miss you and he asks for me to stay by his bed at night and I speak with my heart and say:
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there
I look at my beautiful wife with tears in her eyes saying she wishes that I was here to help her with her fears and I again speak with my heart and try to yell to her and say:
I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'til the end
Can you feel the love we share
Oh I'm already there
We may be a thousand miles apart
but I'll be with you wherever you are
"I love you too."
JUSTIN POV:
I think mom and I will be okay I miss my dad he was my best friend but I know he is with me. All the time I can feel him but just because he is not living in our house doesn't mean he is not living in our hearts I have to realize that your born and you die you make a lot of mistakes in between but that's life…
The End
