Turns out, there's a cute little party at the end of the road. There's handmade cookies and banana bread, apple juice and seltzers. There's grandparents and fiancés and siblings and little kids running around. There's hugs and congratulations.

And everyone's laughing, and throwing flower petals in the air and everything is okay forever and forever.

And he said,

That everything is okay forever and ever. Breathe it deep, and exhale with a smile only sure to last until the final petal falls, and then to more of the same.

To lifetimes together.

To lifetimes, my friend.
