Once upon a time, they lived happily ever after

This is the beginning of the end.

This is the beginning of late afternoon naps, sixty-year-old love letters, slow dances under starry skies and shallow-deep conversations of the past while holding hands.

This is the beginning of grandchildren singing Christmas carols, of sons and daughters randomly calling to say hi, of friends visiting in autumn and of sisters and brothers greeting us while we walk together to the church, "Good morning Mr. and Mrs. Miguel".

This is the beginning of a lot of things that is "you and me".

This is the beginning of the end; and the end is "us".
