I hopped into the car and went over to his house. He was packing up and so he finished up what he was doing and we went out to lunch. He told me he had a surprise for me. After lunch we went to our spot. He told me it was our final time seeing each other because his family was coming down before he left for the MTC. It brought tears to my eyes. I wouldn't see him for 2-3 years. I would be 21, then if I went on a mission. Well we would just have to see where my life takes me.
“I have a seed for you. Every year it will bloom and remind you of my love for you. It is your favorite flower, a daisy, and it is white, reminding us that we must be pure and stay focused on what our goals and dreams are for our life to come. Every time you take care of it hopefully you can feel my love for you grow in it's roots with you. If you will wait for me I will marry you when I get back. I absolutely love you and can't wait until I get back. I know that this is a mission I have to do though and it will make us a stronger family if I do this.”
“I also have a present for you and I hope you could carry this around with you. It's the size of a business card.”
It was a laminated card that was in a deep red saying 'I'll be loving you, always'.
He took me out to dinner then one last drive and upon request from me, back to our waterfall. We watched the stars for awhile and when it was time for us to leave, he gave me my first kiss. One that I would hold onto until he came back.
