“Wendy…I love you. I love you so much it hurts, but in the best way. I want to build a home with you. A life with you. I want to live with you and die with you and be buried with you.” I pause, smiling up at her tearfully. “I want to give you ten children. I want a home with you because you’re my home. I want a life with you because you are my life. Without you, Wendy, there’s nothing. I’m nothing. You make up all the good parts of me, and without you, I’m just a man.”
