——————————————————————

Ash's birthday came along and I had the day planned out for him, Ash always had dreams of traveling the world and well now it was impossible so I planned a hot air balloon ride for us, maybe it wasn't showing him the world but he'd see our town and the place we grew up in and were raised at
then in the afternoon we would go to his mom's house where she made him a cake

"okay ready?" I chuckled guiding him to the hot air balloon
"yes of course I am! I've been waiting for a bit now!" Ash giggled as I chuckled once more
"okay okay" I chuckled and took the blindfold off his eyes
"oh my goodness a hot air balloon!" Ash's eyes sparkled as he ran to it and looked around it
"it's so beautiful" he giggled and hugged me tightly as I smiled and hugged him back

As we rode in it Ash would smile and just talk about how much he loved the view which would make me smile I loved seeing him so happy and like I said before, I can't show him the world more but I could do my best with what I had

We finished the ride and Ash smiled at me and hugged me
"thank you so much Gary, I owe you something even bigger on your birthday" he giggled burying his face into my chest as I smiled and kissed his forehead
"you don't owe me a thing sweetheart" I said and hugged him just as tightly

Once we went to his mom's house we had dinner and talked then it was time to cut the cake Delia made for him
"okay sweetie think of your wish" she giggled as she lit up the candles and Ash also let out a small giggle
the candles were lit up Ash grinned slightly and closed his eyes and then blew the candles as Delia and I smiled at him
"I'm going to go get some plates okay?" she smiled as Ash and I nodded as she left the dining room for a bit
"Gary" Ash said out of nowhere
"yeah?" I smiled and scooted my chair next to him
"I know you aren't supposed to say your birthday wishes to anyone but I wished that we will be together for an eternity" he smiled sweetly with a blush and then hugged me
"I love you so much Gary" he murmured as I smiled, it felt nice but I was very heartbroken because maybe we wouldn't be together for an eternity

With the time passing more I always did my best to help Ash have a good time even if we were at home all day I always did my best to at least make him smile and laugh all the time
I would always take him to places I knew he loved
he always enjoyed the mall so one fo those days I took him there and we got some ice cream
"Mm!! This is so good!!" Ash giggled licking his lips as he licked his chocolate ice cream and held my hand
"it is" I chuckled licking my simple vanilla ice cream
"thank you Gary" he smiled at me
"you're welcome" I smiled and racked his hair lightly just looking at his caramel colored eyes that just sparkled so beautifully

"Gary!" Ash giggled blushing
"stop staring at me like that, it makes me blush" he giggled again as I chuckled and felt a blush creep my cheeks
"anyways, so which shop you want to go to??" Ash said hyper as I smiled
"whichever you'd like" I smiled back at him as he looked around and grabbed my hand again and led me to the shop he wanted to go to

We walked and walked around Ash would point out certain things he liked and just talked randomly of random things
"Gary look!" Ash smiled brightly, going to a yellow baby onesie and putting it up to his chest
I've always dreamed of being a dad you know" Ash smiled making my eyes water slightly knowing that dream was impossible now

"I want you to get better first, okay?" I spoke up after a small silence and racked his hair and caressed his cheek as he grabbed my face making me look into his eyes
"I will get better, you even said I've overcame many sicknesses, I always find a way to recover" he smiled as I smiled at him slightly
"you're right" I said softly as I kissed his hand and he smiled and continued looking through the baby clothes telling me about the ones he would love for our future baby . . .

One day I walked into his art room he had been there for quite a while and there he was sitting on his wooden stool and painting away with his acrylic paints he was always very creative and loved art

"what are you doing?" I smiled leaning on the entrance of the room as he turned his head to me
"just painting a landscape that came into my mind suddenly" he gave me a small smile as I approached him and saw the landscape painting which had a flower field, with a tiny cabin like house on the side with a bunch of trees behind it along with a small water fall at the side of the flower field
his painting never failed to impress me, he had so much talent and creativity in him
"looks beautiful" I smiled and wrapped my arms around him from behind, across his chest, and putting my chin lightly on his shoulder
"thank you" Ash smiled sweetly as I continued watching him pain away just very satisfied by how much talent my husband had

Then a week later, the day came, in such a surprising way
Ash had gone his 1 year approximation of life, I thought he was better or at least progressing
I woke up next to him and smiled sitting up
"morning Ash" I smiled at him who was already awake
"morning Gary" he smiled as I brought him into my arms sitting him across my lap as if I were rocking a baby and hugged him tightly as he returned the hug
he kept looking at me and smiling it just didn't leave his expression, I grinned and gave off a small chuckle
"something wrong?" I blinked as he shrugged and just continued smiling at me

"I love you Gary" he suddenly said putting his hand on my cheek, caressing circles around it as I smiled
"I love you too Ash" I smiled and kissed his fingertips then made my way to his hand and placed a kiss on it, then kissed his forehead and nuzzled his face
Ash smiled and gently pressed his lips onto mine as I smiled against his lips and kissed him back in the same loving way I always would,

We pulled back and Ash smiled, as I smiled back and he would blink his eyes but then they entirely closed and his hand slid off my cheek and fell
"Ash?" I blinked and shook him
"Ash?!?" I said a little louder and put my ear against his chest and didn't hear any beating
"no, no! Ash wake up please!" I yelled desperately sobbing uncontrollably but Ash wouldn't respond or wake up at all
"you can't leave me you just can't! I can't live without you!" I sobbed more hugging him up to my chest

as much as pleaded him, he didn't wake up or responded. he left me. forever.

we wouldn't be together for eternity.
