What ever happened to us? - A Chenford Story

Chapter 13: New Beginnings

*Lucy took those words to heart now knowing that Tims death happened for a reason *

Lucys POV:

Those wise words Angela told me were just stuck in my head. I wasnt sure why but i know eventually i will see that it happened for a reason. Tims funeral was a few days ago, in that ceremony were the people he dearly loved. The speeches Angela, Grey, Tamara and myself gave were very emotional. It was hard not having him around anymore especially when it comes to taking care of Lily...

1 year later:

Today is Tims death anniversary, me and Lily decided to go visit him. We have been cherishing the gifts Tim had made for us to feel his comfort. Today we would go to him and read his letter with him.

Lily is now a toddler.. I dont think i couldve made a year without him if i werent for my friends. Lily and I both got ready to vist him, i brought a small picnic with us and the letter he had written. And so i drove there.. When we arrived Lily was eager to get out of the car to go see her "dada" as she says. I know she will forget the memories we had made last year as she gets older but for now it feels comforting to me that she still remembers her father at the moment. We got out of the car and went to Tims grave and beside his grave was Jacksons. The gang and I decided to place them together so that they will have one resting spot for the both of them. I spread out the picnic blanket and place our basket down. I started talking to Tim, updating him on our daughters latest achievements wishing he was here to see it. After talking to Tim and Jackson for a while, I thought to open and read Tims letter..

The letter:

"For my first death anniversary"

To: Lucy and Lily

Lucy and Lily, i know this day will be hard for you to get through and you'll probably wish for the day to be over. But you need to know that im always here for you both never forget that. You may not see me but i see you both, I'll be watching over you everyday. And Lucy its time to move on, stop regretting my death or what happened to me, you need to be happy. If you say that your fine we all know that deep inside your not, Lily may give you happiness but you need someone to keep you company someone who will take care of you as much as i did.. I love you both

Love Tim

Tears fell down Lucys eyes as she read the heartfelt letter from her husband. Lily cooed and said "mama cry?". Lucy tried to clean up her face but she couldnt hide it from her anymore. This day was a very traumatic day to remember, as he died in her arms..... But she knew that Tim wouldve wanted her to move on and by happy...
