The love story of alley and chris young

I'm always here for you.

The last 4 years of parenthood have been both hard and rewarding.

Our marriage has been the best years of both our lives and we're always there for each other and right now I need to be here for chris.

Since its album release time again chris decided to write a song about his best friend he lost a few years before we met and for the grandparents I lost right after we met.

I've never once in the 6 years we've been together known chris to be a person who likes to bring himself about sad things he couldn't help but lately he has been feeling down and I know who hes thinking about.

He's been thinking about adam, a guy I've heard so many good things about and never got to meet.

Times like today make me wish even more that I had got the chance to meet him before he was taken too soon so I can at least have one memory of him to share and reflect on with chris.

"babe you okay?" I asked as I walked out on the back porch to chris where he's been sitting the past half hour just looking out in the back pasture and drinking his coffee

When I didn't get an answer and I heard a sniffle I had my answer and walked over and sat down beside him before I hugged him tightly and said

"its okay baby, I'm here" I said softly running my hand through his soft brown hair

"I know, todays the 8th anniversary of his accident and I'm gonna go visit his grave. I want you and the girls to come with me. Please come with me" he said as he held on to me tight and tlked into my hair

"we'll come, just tell me when you wanna go and I'll get the girls dressed and we can stop and get some flowers or we can go pick some sunflowers" I said getting on my knees in front of him.

"I think he'd like the sunflowers best" he said running his hand through my hair, just listening to him cry makes me want to cry.

"I think so too babe I think so too" I said as I pulled back and took his face in my hands before I gently wiped his tears and said

"lets go get the girls changed and we'll go pick some okay?" I said starting to stand up when he pulled me back down and said

"I love you alley" before he kissed me and let me pull him up

"I love you too babe" we walked in the house and got the girls changed before we went out in the huge sunflower field I planted in the spring and picked a big bunch of sunflowers to take over to adams grave.

We spent almost 2 hours picking before decided to start back to the house, maggie with me and Elaina with chris, his mini me.

Chris POV

"daddy why did we pick so many sunflowers?" elaina asked as we walked back to the house from the field

"we picked them for uncle adam baby" I said holding her hand

"we're going to uncle adams? Whos uncle adam, will he like us?" she asked full of curious

"we're gonna go visit uncle adams grave baby, uncle adam was daddys best friend and he would have loved the both of you" I said giving her the best smile I could thinking about him

"what happened to uncle adam daddy?" she asked concerned

"well baby, you remember when we went to see uncle cody in the hospital after he had a car accident?" I asked her as I squatted in front of her after handing alley the bunch of flowers I had in my hand

"yea, is that what happened to uncle adam?" she asked looking down at me

"yea it was. Only you know uncle cody got to come home and be around for you guys like he still is, uncle adam wasn't so lucky, when he had his accident he didn't make it, he went to the hospital but he didn't make it, he didn't get to come home and meet your mom or you guys" I said doing my best to explain what happened
