AN: Inspired by lyrics from "Waterline" by Jedward
After losing Kathleen I didn't ever think I could love another woman that much again. Kathleen had been my world since the first time I kissed her on her parent's front porch in high school. We had built our dreams together. Had brought a wonderful son into the world. A part of me had died when I lost her.
Being around Carole had reawakened that something inside of me again. What Kathleen and I had shared had been wonderful - magical even. That would never change. However, she wasn't here with me now. Though she would always be special to me - be a part of me - Carole had become special too. Seeing her down the aisle, a vision in white, made me realize that I loved her just as much as I had loved Kathleen.
Carole was my earthly angel, and I felt sure that my heavenly angel was looking down with joy that I was finding happiness once again.
