Epilogue
For the rest of their visit, only two days, Charlotte and I caught up. It seemed she didn't hold any grudges toward me. Which I was grateful for. She told me she understood the situation I had been under. I never wanted anyone, especially Charlotte, to hate me.
She told me to call her anytime, of course after she gave me her cell phone number. I told her I would call her soon. I didn't want to lose touch with her. She was so kind to me.
Though most of things that have happened to me in my life were still a mystery, I didn't want to know the answers. I was content with my life.
I had a beautiful daughter and wonderful husband, the best family, and another little girl on the way. What more could a human ask for?
Immortality?
Well, I was getting that some day. Not until the girls were older and I was sure they'd understand what was going to happen. I knew it'd crush me, and them, to be apart for such a long time, but they would be able to talk to me over the phone, and hey! There's a handy little thing called a web cam!
I don't think I'll ever patch things up with Renee. She left me. She wasn't a mother. And though that hurt me, I found another mother in Esme. I missed Renee, but did I really need someone who was proud and happy for me?
Though this is the end of this story… it's only the beginning of my life. Of my daughters lives. Someday you'll be reading a story about them, and you'll forget about my problems and me.
So don't think badly of the ending of this story… because one day you'll read one of my Lizzy and one of my Carlie. One day… you'll see… the wait is worth it. The pain I went through and the heart ache we all went through… it's all worth it.
My summer was full of confusion and love… my life is full of love, love, and a lot more love.
