Chapter Text
"Robert, My Love...my one and only love:
"I choose to love you each and every day, My heart's desire, in every single way. I'll take your hand and guide you through,
Embrace you close, my love so true. When life gets tough and the skies turn gray, I'll be your light to lead the way. My arms
will hold you safe and tight, As we face the world together, day and night. I choose you, my love, without a doubt, My one
and only, inside and out. I'll cherish you, adore you, make you smile, For you're my heart, my life, my every mile. So let me
love you, now and forever more, My endless devotion, I adore you now and I always will. I'll be your rock, your strength, your
your guide.
"Thank you love for sharing your life and your love with me. Thank you for our wonderful baby girl - the light of my existence.
I was drawn to you from the start, despite our clashing in the early days, I wish I could have come into your life sooner to help
you mend your heart my love, but I know that our meeting was nothing less than fate. I can't thank you enough for saving my
life." The tears fall in earnest now and she adds "Tu eres y has sido el amor de mi vida ." (You are and you have always been the love
of my life).
Ben Warren gathers himself, clears his throat, and says "Sullivan?"
"Andrea....the source of my joy - the light in my darkness:
"Returning to Seattle, I had years to build an amoured shell around myself - years of loss did their worst to re-shape me into
a man who finds little joy in life with little expectation that I could look forward to a life of happiness or joy. My return to the
Emerald City brought up all of the past memories that I'd struggled to forget. TOTMMLA - that is YOU -The One To Make Me Love Again .
In my mind Claire's passing marked the end of my life as well - the end of love: I have never been so wrong. I'm not the type of
man who falls so hard or so fast...at least I WASN'T until you. When I first realized how deeply you had infiltrated my heart and soul
I resisted; my fear of losing myself that way again. At the time, I'm thinking 'This feeling is so strong, SO DEEP that I can't trust myself'
and as those who know me well being in control is a defining part of me. I'm the man that I am now because of you: you force me to
to enjoy life and all that is beautiful about it - being a father is all I've ever wanted and that gift - other than your love is the greatest
gift that you could ever give me. And...I treasure you both more than I can - there are no words, Du bist die Welt für mich :
(you're the world to me). Taking a step back from the FD to make sure that Yarlenys is happy and well-cared for. That I have you in
life is so unbelievable. It seems that we've been in love forever and I promise to live a long time and spend every minute loving the
both of you. And I should be thanking YOU. I love you."
