Both of my sons are married and look thrilled. They were married young and now have children of their own. My daughter is more free-spirited and wild at heart. She doesn't want to settle down yet and has spent the last two years traveling the world, sending us postcards from all the beautiful destinations that she has visited. She spent a lot of time in Hong Kong, learning about the culture there and visiting the places where her mother grew up.
She studied law and specialized in criminal law, where she graduated top of her class. But Isabella was not ready to work yet as she wanted to experience the world first.
She has never had a boyfriend, and in the beginning, it saved me a lot of worry, but now, as I grow older, I hope she will find love one day because as wonderful as it's to be so free; I want her to know what it feels like.
I want her to have what I have. I want her to meet someone who loves her as deeply as I love Seraphina. She deserves that.
I think about my father, sitting alone out here in his old age, staring at an empty pool with an empty home behind him, as he longs for my mother and searches for me.
I understand more and more, as the years go by, why he became so obsessed with finding me at the end. I was all he had left. I was his last connection to my mother, to the person who he loved so deeply and lost.
Those years must have been so hard on him. OF all the things I might be strong enough to endure in my lifetime, losing Seraphina is not one of them. My father was a stronger man than I'm to survive the loss of my mother.
I often watch Seraphina as she busies herself in the garden, planting her favorite flowers or playing games with the kids and the grandkids. I love to watch her. I love the way her face lights up with love and happiness, and the sound of her laugh still makes me smile.
I love everything about her, and it's because of her that my life has been the richest one possible on this beautiful earth.
I'm rich beyond gold and diamonds and bank accounts. I'm rich in a way that many people don’t get to experience. I'm rich in the things that money can't buy. Although I would give up everything, I have to keep it, if it came to that.
I still can't believe that I went from having no family at all to having all of this. What gift the universe has given upon my life? Every day, I wake up, and I'm grateful for what I have. I have not once, not even for a moment, ever taken it for granted.
Every chance I have, I dote upon my wife and let her know how much she means to me. I have never stopped courting her, as shedeserves to know, every moment, that she is the most precious thing in my life.
I reach my hand out toward my beautiful wife and lift her hand off her lap. I wrap my fingers through hers, and when she looks at me, I smile and say, “I love you, little bird.”
The radiant smile she gives back to me lights me up inside, and I know that if I died tonight - my life has been full, happy and rich with love, I would be ok with it.
It has been better than I could ever have dreamed of, and I would not have changed a thing.
I have everything I could ever want right here with me.
The most beautiful woman in the world to call my own and the wonderful family that we made together.
THE END
