Jay Anderson-Taylor Poet I do not know?

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?
