We are alone now her and I and that’s more than ok. We’ve weathered that storm and now we get to start over.

I have asked her if she wants me to take one shot at being with someone I love and she said yes. I think she needs a mother, and I would like a partner.

I’m getting braver now. Not as much to lose. Everything to gain. One shot. I am calm and steady.

I do speak honestly. The time has arrived.
