She

Me and She became WE almost immediately

I was always ok with Me because I had never met She

She taught me how to be WE

There was no more She or Me just WE

WE was the best

Life was always good for ME because of WE

WE did everything together

WE took a little grief early on for being a little too schmoopy

Even when it was just ME or She it was only a quick thought back to WE and WE would always make things good, always made you feel so secure and grounded, could bring love, made life feel beautiful

WE laughed and danced, got married, traveled, loved being with loved ones

WE created a wee (one)

She taught me how great WE could be

WE could communicate without words just eyes

I never wanted anything but WE again

WE was far from perfect because She and Me could act stubbornly

But WE still made the world right for Me and made life feel so good

WE was better than anything Me could have ever dreamt life could be

We was the greatest feeling because WE was always there bringing a smile

WE were diagnosed which began an odyssey

WE went to scans, was poked for blood more than could be counted, held its breath between tests

WE went to the ER on Friday nights for dates

WE traveled the globe to keep WE going

WE endured brutal procedures and treatments and still kept the faith

Hospitals and clinics became WE’s second home

WE were blessed to meet so many that touched us so deeply and became family along the way

Despite it all WE had a great life

At it’s most difficult WE was still amazing

Even when given news that we were losing the battle Me and She could still look at each other and find a way to smile through tears because of WE

WE could find silver linings in storm clouds and make bad news seem not so hopeless

She fought hard for WE

She fought HARD for wee

I honestly felt WE would never end

With wee (one) She taught Me a whole new level of how to love

Me and wee share an amazing we

But Me and wee miss She with every breath and heart beat

And so desperately long for WE

WE…….

All because of She
