In your arms

• Bonus chapter | Surprise

There were times when the word happiness had no meaning to me.

Just a simple overrated word.

I had no reason for that word to have a meaning.

All those years I fought, I saw no light in the future.

I fought with myself though.

Putting a smile on my face so people would think I am the strong woman but little did they know how the single shit said would bring me to my knees.

I was on the edge and yet I never asked for help.

Yet I never wanted it.

However now I found it without even looking.

I never knew that my life would turn.

Not like this.

I thought I would just be that single lady who is just focused on her work.

Only her work.

I was obsessed with the idea of being perfect, at work.

Now I am obsessed with the idea of making time to spend with my family.

My own family.

Who knew that I would be called Mrs.Hendrix one day?

Noone expected it.

Lies.

Not me anyway.

Here I am, today, wearing the beautiful white dress, holding onto the arm of my father.

Ready to walk down the aisle to my future husband.

All the shit we had to go through was traumatizing but we passed.

Together, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

A soft song was playing on the background.

Our little princess was walking down the aisle before me, after the bridesmaids, throwing flowers.

I take a peak at the door and can see Tyler already tearing up from seeing Anna on her cute pink dress.

She turned one a few months ago.

She is everything we could have asked for.

Our little princess.

She learned how to walk but of course she trips on her own legs sometimes.

That didn't happen today.

Anna walks towards her father and Tyler scoops her up on his arms leaving a kiss on her cheek.

He whispered something in her ear and she giggles.

He puts her down and she runs to Tyler's mom.

It's my time to walk.
