Noah察wherever you are and whenever you read this察I love you。 I love you deeply察my husband。 You are察and always have been察my dream。

Allie

 

    I put the letter aside察rise from my desk and find my slippers。 I must sit to put them on。 Then察standing察I cross the room and open my door。 I peep down the hall and see Janice seated at the main desk which I must pass to get to Allie's room。 At this hour I am not supposed to leave my room察and Janice is never one to bend the rules。

 I wait to see if she will leave察but she does not and I grow impatient。 I finally exit my room anyway察slow´shuffle察slide´the´right察slow´shuffle。 It takes aeons to close the distance察but for some reason she does not see me approaching。 I am a silent panther creeping through the jungle。 In the end I am discovered察but I am not surprised。 I stand before her。

;Noah察─she says察 what are you doing拭

;I'm taking a walk察─I say。 ;I can't sleep。;

;You know you're not supposed to do this。;

;I know。; I don't move察though。 I am determined。

;You're not really going for a walk察are you拭You're going to see Allie。;

;Yes察─I answer。

;Noah察you know what happened the last time you saw her at night。 You shouldn't be doing this。;

;I miss her。;

;I know you do察but I can't let you see her。;

;It's our anniversary察─I say。 This is true。 It is one year before gold。 Forty´nine years today。

;I see。; She looks away for a moment察and her voice bees softer。 I am surprised。 She has never struck me as the sentimental type。 ;Noah察I've seen hundreds of couples struggle with grief察but I've never seen anyone handle it like you do。 No one around here has ever seen anything like it。; She pauses for just a moment and her eyes begin to fill with tears。 ;I try to think what it's like for you察how you keep going day after day察but I can't imagine it。 I don't know how you do it。 You even beat her disease sometimes。 Even though the doctors don't understand it察we nurses do。 It's love!it's as simple as that。 It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen。;

A lump has risen in my throat察and I am speechless。

;But察Noah察you're not supposed to do this察and I can't let you。 So go back to your room。; Then察smiling察sniffling and shuffling some papers察she says此 Me察I'm going downstairs for some Coffee。 I won't be back to check on you for a while察so don't do anything foolish。;

She rises quickly察touches my arm and walks towards the stairs。 She doesn't look back and suddenly I am alone。 I look at where she had been sitting and see her Coffee察a full cup察still steaming察and once again I learn that there are good people in the world。

As I begin my trek to Allie's room察I take tiny steps察and even at that pace my legs grow tired。 I find I must touch the wall to keep from falling down。 Lights buzz overhead察their fluorescent glow making my eyes ache察and I squint a little。 I press on察and the movement forces blood through banished arteries。 I feel myself being stronger with every step。 A phone rings in the nurses' station察and I push forward so that I will not be caught。 I am young and strong察with passion in my heart察and I will break down the door and lift her in my arms and carry her to paradise。

Who am I kidding拭I lead a simple life now。 I am foolish察an old man in love察a dreamer who dreams of nothing but reading to Allie and holding her whenever I can。 I am a sinner with many faults and a man who believes in magic察but I am too old to change and too old to care。

When I finally reach her room my body is weak。 My legs wobble察my eyes are blurred。 I struggle with the knob and in the end it takes two hands and three truckloads of effort。 The door opens and light from the hallway spills in察illuminating the bed where she sleeps。

She is lying with the covers halfway up。 After a moment I see her roll to one side察and her noises bring back memories of happier times。 She looks small in her bed。

I do not move察on this our anniversary察for almost a minute察and I long to tell her how I feel察but I stay quiet so I won't wake her。 Besides察it is written on the slip of paper that I will slide under her pillow。 It says

                                       

                                        Love察in these last and tender hours

                                        is sensitive and very pure

                                        e morning light with soft´lit powers 

                                        to awaken love that's ever sure。

I think I hear someone ing察so I enter her room and close the door behind me。 Blackness descends and I cross her floor from memory and reach the window。 I open the curtains察and the moon stares back察large and full察the guardian of the evening。 Though I know I should not察I sit on her bed while I slip the note beneath her pillow。 Then I reach across and gently touch her face。 I stroke her hair察and I feel wonder察like a poser first discovering the works of Mozart。 She stirs and opens her eyes and I suddenly regret my foolishness察for I know she will begin to cry and scream察for this is what she always does。 But I feel an urge to attempt the impossible and lean towards her察our faces drawing closer。

     When her lips meet mine察I feel a tingling I have never felt before察in all our years together察but I do not pull back。 And suddenly a miracle察for I feel her mouth open and I discover a forgotten paradise察unchanged all this time察ageless like the stars。 I feel the warmth of her body and allow myself to slip away察as I did so many years ago。 I close my eyes and bee a mighty ship in churning waters察strong and fearless察and she is my sails。 I gently trace the outline of her cheek察then take her hand in mine。 I kiss her lips察her cheeks察and listen as she takes a breath。 She murmurs softly察 Oh察Noah 。 。 。 I've missed you。; Another miracle!the greatest of all  and there's no way I can stop the tears as we begin to slip towards heaven itself。 For at that moment察the world is full of wonder as I feel her fingers reach for the buttons on my shirt and slowly察ever so slowly察she begins to undo them one by one。
