Epilogue

Two years later

"Forgiveness is the renunciation or cessation of resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offence, disagreement, or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution."

"Today, I am free from it all. I have made mistakes, many of them, but right here right now, that doesn't matter. The important thing is that I am still here. I have amazing family, amazing friends, a man I love, and who loves me in return."

"What are important are my values and morals. Today I can say that I have pride in myself, my community, the Toronto Police Service and my country.

I am honest; to myself, and others. I am truthful and open in my interactions with my family and friends.

I have Integrity; I am honorable, trustworthy, and strive to do what is right. I am fair; I treat everyone in an impartial, equitable, sensitive, and ethical manner. I am respectful; I value myself, my family (of blood and in blue) and all members of my community. I am conscientious, professional, responsible, and dependable. I strive to bring positive and constructive influences to all."

"Over the past two years, I have forgiven myself for all my wrong doings, personally and professionally. I have learnt, I have grown, and today I stand here proud of who I have become."

"I can say this all of this, because of the help I have had. Because of a man who walked into my room and hasn't let me go since. I can say this because of a man who allowed me to grow. A man who reminds me each and every day, that I am a good person, I am worth loving.

I allowed myself to have faith and hope in all that I could be. And today, I didn't need to be reminded, because I already know; this is who I am."

"Sam Swareck, you are my strength, my weakness, my rock and the love of my life," I say as I walk to stand in front of him.

"You are everything I could want and more in a man. You changed my life in the best way possible. You know my qualities and my flaws, and you have stuck by me. I can never thank you enough for all that you have given me. Being with you, makes me the luckiest woman in the world."

"I am yours forever, if you will have me. Will you marry me?" I ask, I look at him hoping beyond all else, that he says yes. He stands there looking at me, and a tear rolls over his cheek.

"Of course I will" He says loudly.

The entire station, who during my speech were deathly quiet, erupted into cheers and whistles. I am pretty sure I heard a few "finally's" in there too.

He laughs and wraps me into his arms in a tight hug. He presses his forehead to mine, and whispers "I love you".

Well she finally got what she wanted :) I hope you enjoyed reading.
