Remus and Sirius had lived a life of fantasy going on daring adventures as part of the order. They raised their godson Harry to be the best man they could raise him to be and were the best step-grandparents that the Potter children could have. Their life wasn't without trials, but they fought through them, knowing that their love was eternal and could never be broken. And now, as they entered their 90s, they knew death would be inevitable. They were not afraid of death, for they knew it would come and they were satisfied having lived full lives. So at Sirius' side, as he fought what would be his last battle with cancer, Remus said,
"Sirius, if this is the end of our epic love story, know that I enjoyed every second of it. You are my everything and every day I spent with you made life worth living. I love you for all eternity."

"Moony I love you more than you'll ever know and I can't begin to tell you how beautiful you made life, but now is my time to go. Please don't ever forget that I love you now and forever..."
With that, Sirius kissed Remus for the last time, taking his final breath and letting his monitor go flat. Remus looked at Sirius and smiled through his many tears. He knew that Sirius had loved him forever and always. He told him that fateful night when they were 16 that "I love you now more than ever." And on their wedding day, "I love you forever."
And now at the end of their beautiful paved road of love and life, he said: "I love you now and forever..."
