My Casey

All of the grandkids got up and rushed outside. He’d built a climbing frame and tree house for his kids, and now his grandkids liked to play outside at night.

“Can you believe it has been nearly thirty years since we got married?” she asked.

“Yes. It doesn’t feel like it though,” he said. “Time with you, it’s never going to be enough.”

Casey stroked his face. “I’m the happiest woman in the world. You gave me everything I didn’t even know I wanted, Rusty.”

He chuckled. “That name suits me now more than ever.”

They both laughed. Thirty years together, their love would never falter. He loved her more than anything. Curled up on his favorite chair, drinking some iced tea, he listened to his grandkids outside as his wife sat on his lap.

This was the life he’d always envisioned, and it was one he knew he’d never regret. Falling in love was never something to fear.

The End
