Ok. I've been seriously debating this for the last few days, and after careful consideration, this will be the last chapter. There were a lot of things I didn't touch on, such as Dinah and Peyton's births, but I will be starting a new story. I don't know when, but it'll have the kids in it. This was the hardest one to write, but has been in my head since the beginning. Jude was diagnosed with colon cancer when she was 55.
Dear Mom and Dad,
You both died yesterday. Mom, you gave in to your colon cancer, after a long fight, and Dad, we think you died of grief. How could you survive? You and Mom were two halves of one whole. Dad, how you survived for 22 years without knowing her is a mystery. You were made for one another.
We've had a very blessed life. We weren't ever in your shadow. You let us grow, and experiment. Thank you, for being amazing parents.
Although we weren't in your shadow, it was hard not to be. You two were famous, and perhaps we were famous because you were. You were the classic love story. All anyone had to do was mention Tommy and Jude, and people knew what was going on. You graced the cover of almost every magazine. The fact that you died on the same day, makes your connection even more apparent to the media.
We're burying you together, because anything else would be wrong. When we went through the house, we found this box. We read the letters, and we found out stuff we never knew about you. You had a complex relationship that went so far past just "Mom and Dad". This box is going with you.
We miss you already. Although it's hard to say goodbye, we are so happy you're going together. Despite being your kids, we know that you are real love. Thank you for letting us glimpse that. We love you, and we'll miss you forever,
Love,
Reagen, Carys, Dinah, Peyton
Thank you all for your support and wonderful reviews. I appreciate them all. Maybe someday I'll come back to this story.
