Lust and Lies

I folded the envelope and placed it in my bag. I got out another paper and started writing.

My dearest Marla,

You have made me the happiest man alive. You have treated me so well. I will love and cherish you after I'm gone. You were my great love. Marla Ann I love you so much words can not express how happy you've made me. I thought for sure you'd leave when I was sick. You stayed strong for me and the kids. Oh the kids, when I first found out you were pregnant with Noah I knew we would have a great little family. That makes me think back to our wedding day. That was the second best day of my life, we'll get to the first. Seeing you in that beautiful dress that cost more then getting me on the top of the list. But seriously that dress cost a lot. That's besides the point. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you and make wonderful children with you that would grow up to be wonderful people. If you haven't already caught on, Jerrah is gay she just doesn't know it yet. Don't be hard on her. Please. She's going through so much. Just accept her even if you don't want to. She needs it. If you would please disperse some ashes of mine in necklaces so I can be there on her special day when her and Jayla become one. Besides that, I need you to stay strong. I know this is hard. It's hard to write this. My hands are shaking and all I want to do is cry. Marla, my wonderful wife do me a favor and don't drink your life away. There is other solutions. This will be tough but I need you to stay strong. Everything will work out. You will find another and don't say you won't I know you're thinking it. Protect Noah to the best of your abilities. He needs it. This is tough to write but I need you to take the ashes where our love first sparked, which takes me to my first favorite day. You were on the beach specifically the pier. You were taking photos of the water when I got in your way and started fishing. I knew you would come and say something, as you did. I knew I wanted you to be mine when I saw you that day. You were wearing a purple one piece bathing suit that brought out your red hair. I remember you taking a picture of me that day, not knowing it would lead to a lifetime of happiness. You have faced a lot in this lifetime, I only hope you never have to be put through pain while I'm gone. I know you will want to sell the house because it holds too many memories but don't, save it for the children. Oh Marla. My dear Marla. How I love you.

Love, Fish Boy
