When they were little.
One moment, they were fighting over toys tooth and nail. The next, their heads were together as they built with blocks.
One moment, they were doing homework together.
The next, one was snatching the other's candy while the other hid his workbook.
In middle school.
He deliberately pretended to twist his ankle in PE to trick him, but the other boy said nothing and carried him home.
They stayed up late doing homework together, copied each other's answers, and complained that the other's handwriting was ugly.
In college.
They always sabotaged each other in video games and never held back with their insults.
But if anyone picked on one of them, the other was always the first to step in and defend him.
Then they'd turn around and curse out the bully together, only to end up laughing in unison.
After they started working.
They fought over the bathroom in the morning and the sofa at night.
They always had plenty to talk about when they got home from work:
They complained about their boss together, grumbled about their coworkers, and warmed each other with the comforts of everyday life.
They had argued, fought, given each other the silent treatment, and gotten on each other's nerves, but their hearts had only grown closer.
For more than twenty years, they bickered and stumbled along together.
People came and went, but they always had each other. From childhood frenemies who'd known each other since they were in diapers to intimate lovers who stood side by side, they had never been apart.
Then one day, they woke up to find their peaceful routine shattered.
They had promised to stay together for a lifetime, but now one of them would be missing.
A wish: May we grow older together and share every dawn and dusk.
Happiness is turning every day into the same day, as long as I'm with you.
Theme: Make the most of every day.
