Chapter Sixty-eight— The Vows

“Delilah, I know I tell you this every day. But what better day to say it again than today. You are the love of my life and you are my best friend. You're my lover, you're my inspiration. You make every day better and you make me a better person. I promise to love you unconditionally, through thick and thin. In sickness and in health.”

It was tough for me to hold back my tears. “I promise to tell you I love you, every single day for the rest of our lives. I promise to walk our dogs, and there will not be any term as ‘too many dogs’ in our house.”

Everyone laughed at that, but I mean it.

“I promise that as we go through every ups and downs in our lives, I'll always be by your side. Loving you, pushing you to be the best version of yourself and celebrating you and with you. I will always put you first and give you my absolute best for the rest of my days.”
