(60 years later)

Luke walks inside his bedroom and changes into a comfortable pyjama.

He sits on his couch looking towards the bed where Alex used to sleep in.
It's been a week since her funeral and his grandkids had just left the house.

He opens his closet looking for a blanket. Instead he finds an envelope with his name on it written in Alex's handwriting.

He places himself on the bed eager to read what his wife had left him

Dear Luke:
If you are reading this , it means I've already past away. I knew I was going to die sooner or later so I decided to write you this letter.

You changed my life. In a million ways and I would never be able to thank you enough.
You first saved my life , you fulfilled my dreams , I got to sing on stage , I married you, I had a family with you and those are moments I'll never forget.

You even had me running at the age of 85 , a few weeks before I died.

You and I met in the weirdest way possible and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I also wouldn't change a thing. From our silly laughs, weird conversations, kisses , hugs even our fights.

They just brought us together.

I was diagnosed with Leukemia 3 months into the year . I preferred not to tell you so we could spend our time together without the constant trouble.

We have the most beautiful children in the world.
Liam is a mini you Logan is a mini me , even personality wise.And Amanda she's the pretties girl in the universe. A mixture of the both of us. Brown curls , and deep blue eyes , the sass of her dad and the blush of her mom.

They grew up and turned out to be beautiful individuals with their own families.

Finally you, I love you. Even after we got married, had children and even a few months ago you still asked me if I loved you.

I said yes , but I never said how much.

I love you with every bone in my body. In ways words can't explain. You thought you never deserved me and vise versa.

You are a piece of me , without I'm incomplete and I remember once , long after our kids were born you asked me what's the only thing I wouldn't do for you, I instantly changed the subject. But here's the answer , the only thing I wouldn't do for you Luke is live without you.

I will always love you till my last breath.

Love you with all my heart
Alex

A tear falls from the corner of his eye. She loved him the way he loves her.
That's all he ever wanted. Even when Alex was alive she would remind him constantly on how much she loved him , but now the words seemed more realistic.

He lays in bed and covers himself. The words in the letter replaying in his mind.
He closes his eyes and drifts into a deep sleep.

In his dream he wakes up in a white room. Nothing but white there. In the distance he sees a girl standing wearing a white dress.
She was very pretty ,she reminded him of Alex when she was 17. Just like when he met her.

She moves towards him her hand outstretched for him to hold it. He takes her hand and follows her. They stand in front of a mirror. He looked 19 again. He's surprised at what he sees but somehow a smile tugs on his lips.

The girl pokes his dimple and kisses it. Just like Alex did.

"Sunshine?" He asks , knowing deep down it's her.

"Luke."

They stare at each other's eyes. Lost in them he kisses her. Like he missed her. He did miss her. The day she died was like losing everything with a blink of an eye. His world had turned black and white.

She kisses him back . He smilies into her lips. She pulls back and looks at him.

It's Alex. His Alex.

He had her now, forever.
Now death can't even tear them apart.

Who would have known that one of his fans , would end up meaning the world to him?
