Te amo. (aletyler)

The Final Ending.

As the sun began its golden descent, casting long shadows across the tranquil neighborhood, Tyler and Alejandro settled into the familiar embrace of their front porch swing. The gentle creaking of the chains mingled with the soft rustling of leaves, creating a soothing symphony that echoed the passage of time.

With each gentle sway, their minds drifted back through the tapestry of their shared life. They had witnessed countless sunrises and sunsets together, their love for each other an unyielding beacon amidst the ebb and flow of the years.

'Remember when we first met?' Tyler asked, his eyes twinkling with nostalgia. 'Had to make sure you knew I wasn't gay . look where we ended up.'

Alejandro chuckled softly. 'Funny isn't it..? 50 years ago we were.. crazy '

They reminisced about their early days, filled with stolen glances and whispered promises. They recalled the day Tyler's son, Wayne, was born, their hearts overflowing with joy and anticipation. The arrival of their adopted daughter, Sophia, a few years later, brought even more love and laughter into their lives.

'Wayne was such a handful,' Tyler said, a smile spreading across his face. 'But he always had a heart of gold.'

'And Carla,' Alejandro added, 'she was our little princess. So sweet and kind.'

They shared stories of family vacations, laughter-filled gatherings, and the countless moments that had shaped their lives together. They spoke of the challenges they had faced, the obstacles they had overcome, and the unwavering support they had always found in each other's arms.

As the stars began to twinkle in the darkening sky, Tyler reached for Alejandro's hand. 'I'm so grateful for all the years we've had together,' he said softly. 'You're my best friend, my soulmate, the love of my life.'

Alejandro squeezed Tyler's hand tightly. 'I feel the same way, my love. Our journey has been filled with both joy and sorrow, but through it all, our love has only grown stronger.'

They sat in silence for a while, lost in the memories that enveloped them like a warm blanket. The porch swing creaked gently, a testament to the enduring bond they had forged over the years.

'I remember the day we got married,' Tyler said, his voice filled with emotion. 'It was the happiest day of my life.'

'Mine too,' Alejandro replied. 'I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to spend the rest of my life with you.'

They recalled the vows they had exchanged, the promises they had made to love, cherish, and support each other for eternity. And they had kept those promises, through thick and thin, through laughter and tears.

As the night wore on, Tyler and Alejandro continued to share their stories, their voices weaving a rich tapestry of their shared past. They spoke of the dreams they had realized, the goals they had achieved, and the legacy they would leave behind.

'I'm so proud of the life we've built together,' Tyler said. 'We've raised a wonderful family, made a difference in our community, and lived a life filled with love and purpose.'

'Me too,' Alejandro agreed. 'We've been blessed with so much. And I wouldn't trade a single moment of it for anything.'

As the first rays of dawn peeked over the horizon, Tyler and Alejandro stood up from the swing and made their way inside. They had spent the night reliving their past, but they knew that their journey was far from over. They had many more chapters to write, more memories to make, and more love to share.

Hand in hand, they walked into the house, their hearts filled with gratitude and anticipation for the adventures that lay ahead. And as the sun rose higher in the sky, casting its golden glow upon their home, Tyler and Alejandro knew that their love would continue to shine brightly until weeks later when Tyler faces his untimely death.. leaving his husband behind.

alone.. to sit on the porch swing without a person to talk to.
