“We should head on over to the café and get a drink then,” Sally tells us. “We’ve closed it all off for a private party for our special girls.” She smiles at us with pride.
Sally and Beth have been my second parents over the last year. When I came back, I decided to tell them everything. They sat with me, holding my hands, crying with me and then wrapping me up in their fierce love, picking me up every time I was down. They too have wormed their way into my heart. I love these people immensely.
The others walk to the café but Nathan pulls me back. “I just want you to know how amazing I think you are,” he says, smiling down at me. “You have this amazing courage inside. It blows me away. Despite everything, you love so deeply and I see how many people you have touched. I am so damn lucky to have you in my life.”
I go up on my toes to kiss him. “I love you,” I tell him.
“I love you too and I wanted to give you this before we got to the party.” He places a small box in my hands.
“I told you not to get me anything!” I exclaim.
“I saw this and it reminded me of you so I had to buy it.” He shrugs innocently.
I pull off the lid and gasp. On a delicate gold chain is a tiny golden robin. The robin has its wings spread out in mid-flight, its graceful body perfectly captured in detail.
“It’s perfect,” I whisper with tears filling my eyes. This amazing man knows me so well. He has a piece of my heart I will never be able to get back, and this makes me happy. I will always be his.
“Just like you,” he says.
I lift my hair and he gently places it around my neck. Hand in hand we join our family and friends to celebrate the rest of our lives.
