I am trying my hardest to button the dress that I have been given by the hospital, but I can't seem to get the zipper at the back.
I feel his hands on mine, stopping me and I let mine fall as he helps me with the zipper. We don't say anything, but I slowly turn around and look at him.
We are looking at each other for a full minute until we hug each other, and I grimace when I remember the state of my body.
"I am so sorry, please forgive me. I failed you."
I hold on to him as tightly as I can and I let my eyes close as I feel the tears coming and the emotions I have spent the last hour trying to bury come to surface level.
"I have been looking for you, I haven't stopped, not one minute," he says and I hold him closer, as I feel his body quiver and him sniff.
