Destiny is a Fantasy

They grew up together.

They were destined to have

the perfect family together.
From birth,

they knew each other.

Their moms took turns

buying formula for both of them.

At sixteen, they celebrated

their birthday together.

At 25, he lifted her in his arms

and told her he loved her.

At 30, they were blessed with

their next generation.

But at 45, their daughter took ill.

As she lay in her hospital bed,

her gentle eyes closed,

they wept by her side.

After some days,

when their beloved little girl

finally opened her eyes,

they were overjoyed.

But that only lasted a second

as they heard her whisper:

"Be strong enough

to let me go.

It's okay."

And with those her final words,

she drifted into her peaceful forever.
