I knew she was there watching us, without even turning. I could smell her perfume as we were rushing down the hospital corridor together with coffee in hand. We're taking it one day at a time.
Derek and I, we fit together. Those you hurt the most, love you the most.
It is said that there is always someone for everyone. We're soulmates, two people connected together in body and soul. And I know he loves me, even if he can't say it, just yet.
Life is both painful and beautiful. For now, life is so beautiful and wonderful, I just don't know what I did to deserve this happiness. He is with me. Me! No one else, but ME! The greatest thing I've learned is to love and to be loved in return. He's always been with me, every moment, in my heart, in the air. Everywhere.
One day soon, I am most positive that he will give up his trailer and we will finally make a home together again. I will wait for him to walk through the front door. All I want is a tender embrace from my loving husband.
Holding on to me forever.
