“You are more than a blessing to me. I am so happy it scares me.  I feel like it’s a sin to feel as happy as I do.”  She said and leaned her face into his arm.  Then they both stood in silence as they looked out the window at the memorial garden Marco had designed for Marissa.  It was laid out with rocks, beautiful plants and flowers with a water fall full of angels it was a beautiful site.  In the center laid a plaque surrounded by beautiful pearls where the words were in scripted for their little angel girl….

Our Precious Marissa, We only had you in our lives for such a very short time, but we’ll hold you in our thoughts – in our lives – in our hearts for forever and ever... It may have felt like you were here only for a moment but it was long enough to see you, to touch you, to hold you, and to love you to infinity.  It was long enough to know that your life was a gift from God - Your life was a gift to us all…You are our beloved ANGEL…

 

They were all at a place to finally call home never forgetting all they lost but cherishing what they now have.  Marisol came to terms with her parents and she is now able to move on or so she thought. 

There was a mail delivery at their door addressed to Marisol.  It was a medium sized box and she opened it up looking at Marco thinking it was another baby gift only to find a note with a bunch of old journals.  The note was from Mr. Jackson the gentleman who bought her parents’ house.

Ms. Braxton, I’ve been traveling so I had my secretary mail these journals out to you.  They were found in the attic flooring under some wood planks, thought you may want them.  Congrats on your wedding.  From, Mr. Jackson

 

The journals were written by Valencia going as far back to when she was still in Mexico.  Feeling petrified Marisol closed the box back up and looked up to find Marco’s eyes watching her.  Shaking her head back and forth she said, “Not today and maybe not tomorrow but someday I will read them when I know her written words can no longer hurt me.”  She knew all her answers were in those journals – all her mother’s truths and confessions and that scared the heck out of her. 

Marco’s sympathy for his wife engulfed him while he gathered her in his arms he whispered sensually in her ear planting soft kisses between his words.  “Someday sounds great so let’s not waste today and tomorrow and the day after that and so on, let us enjoy every minute together to live hard, to love hard and to make love hard.”  He started to nuzzle her ear and then continued his thoughts. “I can’t seem to get enough of you and incase I forget to tell you later, I love you to infinity and beyond and beyond and beyond.”
