As I lay there watching Robin sleep beside me, I realized that she was right all along. I didn__ need to live in a castle _ a shack in the woods with her would do just fine. And for that matter, I didn__ need to be prince of the ocean either, because with her by my side_ I was king of the pond.

As Robin thought about what he had just said, Noah got up from the chair and knelt down in front of her. 'How about I give you three reasons? Morning, day, and night.'She narrowed her eyes.'Stay_ so every morning when I open my eyes, you__l be the first thing I see. Stay_ so every day when I__ with you, I can show you all over again exactly how much you mean to me. And stay_ so every night when you lay your head down next to mine, you__l know_ you__l know just how much you__e loved.'Her eyes drifted to the water as she thought for a moment, returning to look deep into Noah__ eyes.'Okay, Noah_ I__l stay.

You remember?' he said incredulously. 'What could you possibly remember?' he asked, staring at her, waiting for the answer.The beauty from within her soul shined brightly through her loving eyes as she looked deep into Noah__ now melting eyes.'I remember _ I love you,' she said in a soft voice, nervously biting her lip.

The lesson learned: never take your loved ones for granted. And if you're ever lucky enough to find that one person in life who makes you love more than any other person could possible make you love, you treat every day together as if it were your last. You cherish every moment.

If someday you should ever think of me and miss me, know in your heart that I'd want you to find me once again. No matter how distant in time or space... FIND ME.

With peaks of joy and valleys of heartache, life is a roller coaster ride, the rise and fall of which defines our journey. It is both scary and exciting at the same time.
