The Story


Five years ago today, with 11 roses, a sparkly diamond, and a lot of love, Kurt asked me to be his wife.  Half a decade.  Its not really that long ago.  It seems like forever.  I remember it like it was yesterday....

I'll never forget that day.  10 random roses throughout the day.  One by one.  At unexpected times in unexpected places.  A ring around the 11th.  And him calling me the 12th.  Me laying on the bed.  My love on his knee.  The question.  My answer.  The embrace.  It was perfect.  It would have been perfect regardless of how it had played out.  Because it was him and I...

The story is like so many others - engraved in my memory.  Etched in my mind.  And the life that followed.

It was the answer to my prayers.  My hopes and dreams.  I was so happy.  He was so happy.  The beginning of a new chapter.  The beginning of the rest of our lives.

We never even imagined that the chapter - the story - would end so soon.

But you know what?  Even knowing how the story would end, if I could go back to that day I would.  And say Yes all over again.  Because the story was worth reading.  Worth living.

It was a damn good book while it lasted....  I only wish we had ben able to write the final chapters...
