Chapter Three
Six Years Later
Sam and I have been together for six years. Our story is short and there isn’t much to tell, but all I want to let everyone realize, is that love is extraordinary and it doesn’t matter if you have cancer or you are blind or whatever the heck you are going through, you can still fall in love. I never thought Sam and I would ever cross paths. I still remember the sound of his skateboard that very first time we ever met. That day changed our lives forever.
“Leah!” Sam called. I heard his footsteps coming closer to me. He gently took my hand and brought me out to our deck. “Can you hear that?”
“Hear what?” I asked. I heard the beautiful sound of nature. The birds were chirping and the wind was very strong, so I heard the leaves blowing all throughout.
“The beauty of nature,” he said. I smiled and he pushed my hair behind my ear. The wind blew back in front of my face.
“Leah, I have a very important question to ask you.” he said. I had no clue what he was going to ask. Sam is a very crazy kid and I can never predict him.
“The very first time I met you, I had no clue you were blind. That never stopped me from asking you out. We had some very awkward moments, such as our very first kiss. Well, kisses. Every time I kiss you, it still feels like our very first kiss. I have wanted to be with you for the rest of my life and that is exactly what I am about to ask you.” he says. My stomach fills with butterflies and I can’t stop smiling. “I am on one knee now. The sky is very blue today and the wind is very strong, but it makes the trees look so cool when their leaves move all over the place. I see so many beautiful things right now, but I am pretty sure, no, I am more than sure, that the beautiful creature standing in front of me in the most beautiful thing right now. I am so happy to be able to have you be mine and I can’t believe I am with you. Leah, will you marry me?”
Sam takes my hand and puts on the ring. I start crying as I touch the ring that my true love is offering me. I am out of words and shake my head yes. Sam wipes off my tears and gives me a big hug. He plants a kiss on my lips and we stand there, hugging.
I will never stop telling you this, but love is extraordinary and never give up on anyone you love.
