I am struggling to find the words to end this work. My life for the past five and a half years has been centered around finding ways to describe this life you have given me. I have had to learn to attempt to describe the beautiful, the ugly, the damning, and the glorifying. But only ever from one circumstance/outlook. All of that changed this past month. I have been gifted a new opportunity. No longer will I compose these works as some girl who has dreams. I am now to be writing as your wife, who is living a reality we worked so hard for.
I knew this day would come. I can't sit here and act like we didn't plan for any of this. I just find it bittersweet to be quite literally ending not only a chapter in life, but a whole book. But as they say: "onward and upward". We have a future and a life that we have started together as one. And I'm sure that through this new phase of life I will find new inspiration. Inspiration derived from the good, the bad, the evil, the pure. But I promise to you: forever will you be my muse.
So here is to our new life as one. There is no more hoping and wishing but only doing. What will ever stop us? Nothing has, and nothing will.
Though I try, my words will not suffice.
I love you more than you will ever know.
