Watching my beautiful sweet little baby Abbey sleeping in her crib, as I stand here holding my wife, I can’t stop the tears running down my face. Once I was so broken, now put back together by an accidental meeting, when a beautiful red head crashed into me and threw up on my shoes. I glance up at the pure white dove with a yellow rose in its mouth hanging reverently on the wall next to our daughters crib. Always watching, protecting from above, I know she’s her guardian angel watching over her.
I was blessed to have known Olivia and spend time in my life married to the wonderful woman that she was. I honor and cherish our memories and keep them in my heart. Blessed with the opportunity to find true love again and marry my best friend. To create a beautiful baby girl out of love and respect, my life has been truly blessed.
Epilogue
Aaron
As I walk up the aisle with my older sister Abbey holding my left hand and my younger sister Avery holding my right, we walk slowly glancing around the church filled with loved ones and friends. Our mother passed away at the age of eighty-three. My father is standing beside the casket with his hand resting softly on my mothers, tears streaming down his face. My sisters hold my hand tight, silently sobbing. As we stand in front of our mother, she looks so beautiful, so peaceful. As she requested her arms are layered in her platinum charm bracelets, three on each wrist. My father gave our mother a charm each year on the anniversary of her being cancer free, there are fifty three charms in all mingled between the six bracelets. She wanted to be buried with them. She earned each and every single one of them.
Growing up with my parents was filled with love and laughter, my sisters and I share a special bond, and our families are all close. My mother was my inspiration, and I am going to miss her so much. My parents had a marriage that I model my own after. Looking at the crowd of people gathered to say goodbye to my mother is a testament to her love and devotion to her family and friends.
Olivia
Standing to the side holding Willow’s hand we watch Asher and their children as they mourn the beautiful life of their loved one. Willow squeezes my hand and walks over and touches each one of them on the cheek, placing a kiss on the other side. She smiles and walks back over to take my hand. I knew all those years ago they were meant to be each other’s soul mates. I’m so proud of the family they made together. I’ve always been keeping a watchful eye over each and every one of them. Now it’s time to take Willow home. With one last look and a smile she says good-bye for now, with a promise to be waiting for each of them when their time comes
