“We’ve been through too much together to let this tear us apart.”
Erin healed gradually over the next few weeks. Our children rallied around us, offering support and guiding us through this new chapter in our lives. It wasn’t easy, and there were a lot of conversations to have, but we were determined to rebuild what we’d lost.
As we sat together one evening in her hospital room, holding hands and reminiscing about our years together, I realized that our love had endured despite everything.
It was a love that had weathered storms and stood the test of time—a love that was stronger than pride or misunderstandings.
And as Erin looked at me with gratitude and love, I knew that we still had many more years ahead of us, to cherish each other and to make up for lost time.
