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?
