"Does this m-mean you f-forigve me?" she sputters. I can feel her tears soaking my thin t-shirt, and I want to do whatever I can to make them fucking stop, because I can't stand it.
"Baby, please stop fucking crying. I can't stand it. Please," I beg.
Sniffling, she pulls back and looks up at me. "I'm so sorry, Briggs. I'm so sorry that I kept this from you. I'm so sorry I didn't have the courage. I was just s-so scared to l-lose you-u-u."
I pull her back to me. "Shh, stop crying, baby. Listen, I hate this. I hate that it happened, but we love each other and when people love each other, they work through their issues. They stop, listen, and don't give up when it gets hard. If there's anything I've learned over the past few years, it's those who you're meant to love? There's no question where they belong in your life. I know that my life isn't anything without you or Olive, Maddison.”
"I just want our family back together. I never expected to be a family, and then we were one, it was ripped away and it was my fault, I’ll do anything to build your trust again."
I know exactly what she means, and it has everything to do with the decision to move past this. Holding on to that anger, refusing to move on... that's only going to hurt us all in the end. In my heart, she's it for me.
There's no doubt. No question. She is mine and I am hers.
Maddison is the love of my life, and we're going to fight for our love, no matter what it costs.
Yeah, she made a mistake, and I guarantee it’s not the first or last that either of us make. Relationships are hard work, but what I do know is that my love for her can’t be shaken, and I trust in her love for me.
We’ll move past this, stronger than before, and not just because she learned from her mistake, but because it forced me to confront my own issues. I can’t be afraid to forgive just because someone I once loved hurt me. If I want people to see past my mistakes, I need to be able to see past theirs.
I think I’ll start with sitting down with my brother, getting the closure I need to move on with my life without all of the bitter anger in my heart. Not for him, but forme. Because if anything,Ideserve it.
I deserve to be able to move on without letting what happened weigh me down.
I want to love my girls and be proud of the man that I’ve become.
“All I know is that my future is you and Olive. I can’t ever imagine waking up without the two of you. I love you, and I don’t know if you know this, but I told Olive I was going to marry you one day, and the thing is… Ialwayskeep my promises,especiallyto my baby girl.” I bring my lips to hers and kiss her. Soft and sweet.
Showing her that no matter what happens, they’ll be myalways girls.

Sincerely,
Briggs Wilson
