Tempy, thank you for what you did for both me and my father yesterday. You made a dying man’s last wish come true. I understand now that my mother and both of your parents were wrong, all those years ago, about us. I wish I could change what they had us do to each other, but I cannot change the past now. I wish I could change it, but the past is just that the past. We need to make the future the best we can for each other and for those around us.
I have loved you since we were toddlers. We made a daughter together that I have never claimed. But I loved her as much as I loved my other two children. I loved you when I ran my car into the side of the ditch across from my home, many years ago. I loved you when you walked into my office, almost two-and-a-half years ago, for a job. I love you more today than words can ever say. You are my best friend and my wife. Tempy, you are the keeper of my secrets; you have never sought to hurt me because of them or with them, but because of a few of my secrets, Tempy, they have hurt you beyond what any words can ever make go away. Secrets that caused you pain without compare and you still want to be with me, and you make me the happiest man alive every day.
When I faked my death, I hoped you would, somehow, someday find me. I never dreamed it would happen how it did. I realize nobody from my hometown was to be aware of where I was, but I hoped you would find me. When you did, I never thought you would want me back in your life the way I wanted you in mine. Tempy I realize I made the circumstances that led to you finding me happen, but if I had to do it over again, I would do the same thing. I wanted you with me and I wanted you in my life.
Tempy you were there during the worst two-and-a-half days of my life. You helped me get over a time I thought I could never come back from. Tempy you were strong for me. You proved I could be strong as well and get back some of my self-confidence. You are the person I wanted when we were teenagers, and you are the person; I want beside me today. Thank you, Temperance Brewer Braden for allowing me to mend your broken heart.
