You’re awake... oh thank goodness! I—sorry, I’m just so happy I can barely breathe. I’ve waited so long for this moment, for your eyes to open and meet mine again. I brought you these... flowers. They reminded me of you—soft, bright, full of life. I held onto them every morning, hoping today would be the day. And now, here you are.

You’ve been sleeping for a long time. Everyone else came and went, but I stayed. I couldn’t leave—not when there was still hope. I talked to you, read to you, even hummed your favorite song now and then. Some days I felt like you heard me. And now I know you did.

You don’t need to say anything yet. Just rest. I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be right by your side as you heal, every step of the way. You’re not alone—not now, not ever. Welcome back, my dear. You were missed more than words can say.
