Final Reply
I married her nearly ten years ago, never had I ever seen
a bride with such a radiant glow. She was my everything
and so much more, when I meet her all my prayers had been answered.
To me she was all that a wife should be. Ten months after our
wedding day, we shared in the birth of our first born...
We named him Emanuel, which means the beginning and end. He was
to be the sign of our beginning and hopefully a way our love
might not ever end. As the years went by, my beautiful bride
started to change and our love seem to be dying as fast as it
had begun... She said she needed some time apart. I been reduced
to just a weekend dad... As I sat there in my hotel room with tears filling the very
wells of my eyes. As I scribbled on my note pad for the very last time
and sip on my final bottle of wine.
My left hand full of pain killers and my right hand clutching
my nine...I realized, this would probably be my final reply and
the end of what was to be a lifetime. As I end this day with my
final reply. "Our vows said until the end and in sickness and
health” seems like I have chosen the end instead...until we see
each other again?
