“You were the kindest man I have ever known,” she expressed.
“With you, I knew that I was wholly accepted, through good times and bad. We created together, we fought, we laughed, we cried, and most of all we loved.”
Despite the pain of their separation, Ciru vowed to carry Charli’s love with her always, until they are reunited once more.
