This day changed my life, FOREVER. Even as I grow without Sterling, this day will always mean something.
¤ Flashback ¤
Waking up to Sterling every morning is a blessing. When I woke up this morning though, he wasn't there. I walk out and get my coffee.
It's about 10:30 and I hear the front door open. Puppy paws scratch across the floor.
"Sterling?"
"Meet our newest addition."
"Where did you get her?"
"Our neighbors just had puppies and were giving them away."
"She's so cute. What's her name?"
" Look at the tag."
I look at the tag, only to read 'will you marry me?' My head raises and I see Sterling down on one knee.
"Amelia,
My time spent with you has been the best of my life. I want to spend the rest of my life feeling like this with my best friend. And I will try my hardest to make you as happy as you make me. Marry me?"
I choke out "Yes!" As joyous tears flow from my cheeks. He kisses me and I never want this moment to end. After the whirlwind of the moment we have to figure out our puppy's name.
"Well what are we going to name our new baby?"
"How about just that, Baby."
"I love it! I love you!"
"I love you so much Amelia!"
The rest of the day we go out shopping and setting up a family dinner."
~~~~
Our parents are over and dinner is about to be served.
"Mom, Dad." Sterling and I say in unison.
"We have something to tell you!"
"We're getting married!"
"Oh my gosh!"
Our families are very excited for us. So are we.

We were so happy. It was complete bliss. This memory will stick with me my whole life and I will remember being completely in love. My kids will hear about their moms first love. I'm saddened I can't just point to him and say it was daddy. But I will never regret what happened.
I learned...
