When We Are Old and Gray...

[Lurker]

In the near-decade I've known Twilight, she's surprised me and grown in ways even my foresight was unable to predict. That's the way another person should be.

I expect her to continue to grow until we're both very old, partly because I expect to grow, myself. I hope to continue to expand her consciousness and her world, because I want to give her the greatest quality of life I can. My goal on the personal level is the same; I want to be there for her in all things, and remain together until the day I die. I love her. What specifically is going to happen when we're older? How is my own age and related ailments that come with it going to affect our family? I don't know yet. I don't really have any way of telling yet. I'm gonna let time do its thing.

In terms of death, I'm not one to believe in fanciful things. I believe it's inevitable, and I believe it's the beginning of a second eternity for me - one identical to the one before I was born. Life is fleeting, yes, and inherently pointless in the grandness of the universe, but that doesn't mean at all it cannot be enjoyed. Despite the fact that when I go, all I've dreamt will too, it's okay.
