There was soft song playing on the radio when I wake up that morning, the bed was cold, I turned the light on as the curtains were still downed on the window even when the clocks showed it was 9 in the morning, he wasn't there any longer, I through a hand in my hair.

I left the curtains opened, I notice Shawn's standing down there, it was windy and he wore a shirt that he folded up its sleeves.

I down the stairs taking a jacket outta of the closet, I walked out of the house as I called:” Shawn?!”

He hadn't look at me, he was staring to the cloudy sky, his eyes shined with faded light of the winder sun.

“Shawn?!” I said placing my hand on his shoulder, he turned to me, his gray hair shined under the rays of the winter's sun, he smiled softly, his beautiful crinkles showed underlined his eyes.

“Did I wake you up?” he asked softly, when I placed the jacket on his shoulder as I said:” no, baby you hadn't” he held both of my hands kissing my forehead pulling me closer to his side, when I asked:” did you have a headache this morning?” he nodded.

“I'm sorry” I stood on my toes kissing his cheeks softly as I said:” I wish I can take it away of you, baby”

“It's okay,” he whispered his voice played the chords of un-surly, 'cause he knows what I fear.

“You know last Christmas we had the kids in home, do you remember?” he asked happily when I nodded.

“Do you remember?” he asked again, when I nodded saying:” Yes, Shawn I do remember, it was when Alex came early and helped us with the tree”

“Yea, that's true my back hurt a bit that holidays but you see I'm much better this year” I smiled as he kissed my hand saying:” I love so much Jules”

“I love you too Shawn, I had loved for so long and I'll love you for an eternity” he smiled, he looked the lake as he said:” guess what I done when you were a sleep” he said walking toward the shore of the lake.

“What had you done?” I asked.

“I brought a boat” he said.

“What? A boat! Why?”

“Do you remember what my doctor said about that precious moment is hardly to be forgotten and the Alzheimer can't take them away of me.”

“Yea.”

“I want to make precious moment for you Juliet the one that make your heart remember me” he said softly taking my, I hugged my sweater tighter around me as I said:” Don't you talk like you're going to leave me, Shawn.”

“I had no choice in this this time Juliet” he stared to the sky.

I walked closer to him, a tear fell down his cheeks when I said:” I know we gonna be there together”

“You can't be so sure.”

“You're right, but you know I feel it, I feel that there's no one of us going to be left in life alone to suffer of losing the other, our fate ended us together once and it'll end us together again, Shawn”

“As long as I love you.”

“As long as I love you.”

I finished making the dinner, but Shawn been napping for hours and I didn't want to wake him up, his medications sometimes force him to sleep in the middle of the day and it feels so empty without him around, I miss his voice around, I miss him when doesn't complaining.

I took my shoes off as I walked on my toes just not to wake him up, I knew how he's a light sleeper, I covered him well with the blankets, he smiled in his sleep, I smiled back I love you too my angel.

I swallowed the pills of my daily medication, I drunk water, my lungs hurts a lot specially this time of the year, I took took a seat on the couch in our living room, I was reading few pages of “The Great Gatsby” when I can feel Shawn's steps go back and forth upstairs, I get up walking to the bedroom to check on him.

“Is everything is alright?” I asked.

“How I came here?” he asked.

He looked confused, a bit scared, it one of those times when he forgets things, but I knew he didn't want to forget it's just happening to him, he wants to remember.

“We live here honey.”

“We did?”

“Yea, Alex had bought that house for us few years ago” I said walking toward him.

“Alex?”

“Yea, our son.”

“He did?”

“Yes, Shawn we were so happy about it” I said, taking his hands in my.

“How did he get the money?” he asked curiously, when I smiled saying:” he worked hard to be a professor.”

“Did he?”

“Yea.”

“I'm happy for him, I'm so proud of him, I'm so happy” he said softly when I asked:” love, I made the dinner, do you want to come down so we can eat together?” he nodded softly looking around the walls.

I placed the dinner on the table, he smiled as he asked:” are you okay?”

“yea, I'm fine” I said not looking at him.

“Are you sad 'cause I forget about the house?”

“No, no, Shawn I'm not sad.”

“I know you're worried that I'll forget you.”

I'm.

He reached for my hand as he said:” I won't, I won't forget you” I start to sniffle covering my hand with my mouth, I know he loved so much and he would do his best not to break my heart, and seeing him promising me something he can't keep is hurting too bad 'cause he might be thinking now that he can stop his disease from stealing the love of us away of his memory.

“I won't forget you” he hugged me tight between his arms as he whispered:” oh my God” he kissed my hair softly as he whispered:” my baby, I won't forget you, I won't, I promise.”

It was one of those night when we cuddled up front the TV, trying to take what time gives us to keep from our love as we both are a life.
