In the blink of an eye.

A year ends.

A year begins.

A goodbye is said.

Tears are shed.

A kiss is given.

A covenant made.

A toast is spoken.

A gift my only token of love.

I shed more tears.

Goodbye for two years.

It's amazing how fast life changes. 

I open my eyes and they are gone. 

Life will never be the same.

But change refines.

When you see me again, I'll be more like God.

Isn't that a miracle?

The celestial room glimmers with light. 

Faith. 

Occasionally, my one possession. 

Maybe it will all make sense one day.

One thing I know: Eternity.

Time is irrelevant. 

See you in two years,

Love, 

Shelby
