Roller Coaster

Epilogue

Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and its downs and there are even some crazy turns that throw you for a loop and make you feel like everything in your world is completely upside down. But the thing about life is that you don't know when you're headed for a sharp turn or when your world is suddenly going to be turned inside out and upside down. It's all a mystery

But that's not to say that some of those twists and turns are bad things, just because your world is changing doesn't necessarily mean that it's changing for the worse. Things were definitely changing in my tiny little world and Ian and I had certainly had our lives turned upside down in the past year, but I wouldn't take any of it back for the world.

I had always been a firm believer that who you are as a person is determined by how you react to changes in your life, how you react to those crazy twists and turns that life likes to throw at you.

Ian and I had had our fair share of those obstacles in life and that's what had made us so close, so connected and in love because we knew that no matter how bad things got, we always had each other and would be each other's shoulder to cry on when it all boiled down to it.

My heart had been broken into a million little pieces quite a bit in the past few months. First, when my mother found out we were engaged. I thought I was hurting then, but then came the miscarriage and suddenly I was feeling a pain and a sorrow that I had never felt before and felt like I had part of me ripped from my body and that my heart had been ripped out of my chest and stomped all over.

Through it all, Ian was at my side, he was there for me night and day no matter the hour. I didn't know how he did it, deal with me and my seemingly endless list of issues, but all I knew was that I couldn't have gotten by without his love and support and I hoped to hell that I've done the same for him and he felt the same about me.

There was nobody else that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and there was nobody else that I wanted to share a home with and start a family with and there was nobody else on earth that who's last name I wanted to take more than Ian Pearson. Even after two years of long distance and one crazy year of living together, I was more in love than I had ever been with that damn Canadian who'd stolen my heart three years ago.
