I am a hopeless romantic, too., and “ forever is real” is a choice. My father long gone is still my first love, my husband will always be 26 years old in my eyes…childhood happiness cannot be replaced by adult must-do experiences. Yes, … we choose our own songs, …until the last note is played.

What a heartfelt and wonderful piece – you have such a way with words. I will carry this story with me today and the imagery it brings to life.

The person you love is still there, but not able to be “there” in the same way. But “forever is real.” Thank you for sharing that light.
