Page 25 of His Cowboy

We arrived to the university on time. The seats weren’t as good as I would have liked, but I was able to get pictures of Perry as he walked across the stage. I held Bailey in my arms and pointed to her daddy. “There he is, sweetheart. See him?” Somehow he found me in the crowd and smiled and waved.

He was Dr. Perry now, with a permanent placement at the vet clinic. I couldn’t be more proud of him.

Afterwards, it wasn’t easy making our way through the crowd, but we managed. Tears came to Perry’s eyes as he hugged me and our daughter, giving her lots of sweet kisses.

“I never thought this day would come,” he said. “It seemed so far away all those years ago, and now we’re here. It’s gone by fast.”

It had, but we made a point to cherish every moment. “I’m so proud of you,” I said. I kissed him.

Our daughter squealed she was pressed between the two of us.

“Let’s get a good picture of you three,” my mom said. “We don’t have many family pictures yet.”

We smiled for the camera. My family.
