A/N THIS IS A GOODBYE I WROTE TO SOME ONE THAT I LOVED MORE THAN ANYTHING AND LOST THEM WAY TOO SOON, I THANK YOU FOR READING IT. IT COMES WITH A TISSUE BOX WARNING. ALL MISTAKES ARE MY OWN. THE CHARACTERS ALL BELONGS TO MRS HARRIS.

To My one and only Lover Sookie,

I will hopefully see you once I cross over. I hope that you are still there and waiting on me just as you promised me the night you left me to walk this earth alone. I read your letter each and every anniversary of your death. I cherish the words you wrote to me so long ago.

When I long to hold you in my arms once again I know that I can hold you life essence that once flowed through you as I read what was in your heart just for me. I feel a little closer to you then and it helps to me to dull the lonely endless nights that I have to endure without you by my side.

I have come to love your gift of life that you chose to have drawn and preserved for me to sustain my life until I could walk this earth alone once again. I love that you thought of me and loved me so much, that you took such great pains in providing me with a chance at life after you. You knew that I wouldn't ever waste any of your blood nor would I gorge myself on it.

You, my lover, my wife, my everything, were a stubborn, pigheaded independent woman whom I cherished every single night that we were blessed to have together on this earth. I once told you that in over 1,000 years I had never loved another human the way that I loved you. While that is true I was wrong lover. I never even knew what love was until I met you. You taught me the meaning of being loved and what it means to love someone. You showed me what unconditional love was. You gave me the greatest gift I could ever receive. You loved me as I loved you.

We had many, many good decades and centuries together. I love each and every moment that I had you with me. In the good times and the great times our love only grew. But it blossomed and stood fast strong and unwavering when ever we fought or hurt one another. Our love has truly stood the test of time.

I had you placed next to your Gran and your Brothers grave my lover. I knew that was what you wanted. I have even been living in the old farm house for the last fifty years or so. I feel so much closer to you here than any where else now. Most of the homes we shared during your life have long since gone to dust.

You would still recognize the old homestead. It has been remodeled and even rebuilt at least a couple dozen times over the centuries since you passed. But I never allowed it to be changed. I knew you would hate for it to change. You loved it just the way it was. You often said it reminded you of me unchanging but always comfortable. ,

It was and always has been the one thing that never changed. It was our first place, where fell in love, shared our first kiss, made love, for the first time, and where you gave me safe refuge even though I knew nothing of who I was I knew that I wanted you and loved you for being you from the moment I saw you.

It was also where we spent our last night together,where we lay in bed together as I held you as you life faded from your eyes, my wife. It seems only fitting now that it is the one place I feel the closest to you. After years of not being able to even enter the house for fear of the memory of that one night I held you for the last time. Of your last breath. Your last sigh. Our last declaration of love. Even our last kiss.

I have some rather sad news to tell you, though I suspect that you already know. It is about our joy, our son. My love, he has come to join you. Hunter is now placed beside you my love. He passed on last week during the day while I was unable to be with him. He was 943 years old my love. He would still have been alive but his heart failed him and he couldn't get to the vial with my blood in it in time to save his heart.

He is finally at peace though, with the rest of his family. And our grandchildren and great grandchildren and our other great great grandchildren. Our great great great great grand child as you know had already passed before you did. I am sorry to say but it turned out that she was the last of our line. But take heart our nephew has agreed to live here and take care of the place for us. So a Stackhouse will always own your home,

I know in my heart that Hunter missed them all as I have missed you for all these long years. It has pained me greatly to watch our son suffer and watch each of his family die before him. Just as he suffered watching me mourn for the only mother he ever knew and the only woman I will ever love. I know you are looking down now and wondering why I am writing you this letter and not simply talking to you as I normally do on our anniversary.

I am writing you this letter this time on the eve of this, our last anniversary. I say last because this is the last vial of you blood that I have left my love. When I see you again it will be sooner than you think. I will drink the last of you life just as dawn approaches. We will share our last sunrise together my lover before I join you and our family in the hereafter.

Please don't be upset with me when you see me next. I did what you asked of me. I stayed here to love and protected our son and family. But with the last vial of your blood and the death of Hunter, I feel it's time my love to see what's on the other side. I know that you wished for me to find another a way to live again. But once you have had perfection in your life, there is nothing left that can ever compare. There is truly no reason left to for me live.

I finally under stand what drove my maker to meet the sun all those centuries ago. The depression of the last two centuries with out your smiling face to look upon have weighed heavily on me. The only thing that kept me here was in deed your blood. Hunter didn't need me any more than his children did, when you passed. Granted they stayed by me and worried for me but you were the one I promised that I always continued on for.

I thought the night you agreed to allow me to turn you, it would be the turning point in our lives together forever. But as we found out it was not to be. I thank the gods that you weren't taken from that night when Niall chose magically to intervene. I would have lost so much more if I would have gone through with your turning than just the 727 more years we had together.

Please don't worry about Pam my lover. I know you always considered her family. She has her children, Tara, Amelia and Jason Jr. and they will all be just fine. They all know what I have planned and I have set up a video camera to record my final moments for them. I have spent the last week recording all the memories of our lives together, along with everything that you or Jason ever told me about your family. They we never forget us. Most likely they will get sick of me regaling them with tales of our life together. Much as they did when I first lost you.

I want to tell you something that I never admitted to you before lover. I watched the sun rise the day after you died. I am sorry my love. I know that I had promised you that I wouldn't. I just couldn't take the grief and the hole that you left in my life and my heart. The pain was worse than any torture that I have ever endured in my life. I have never in all my long life felt so empty and dead inside. Even when I lost my maker it paled in comparison to losing you.

When Claude appeared in front of me as the first rays appeared, and gave me that vial of blood tricking me with pure fairy blood so that I couldn't meet the sun. I was furious with him. I wanted to kill him. But when he gave me the box with 24 vials of your blood along with the note that you had set up a delivery of 24 vials to be delivered to me each year on the anniversary of your death.

I knew then that even from where you were you were still taking care of me and loving me in your own special way. It was then that I found the courage to face your last words to me. I opened the letter that you had placed in my hand moments before you left me. It was the first and only letter that I have read in the sun in over 2,000 years. Your gift of words and love have been a blessing to me all these years since. I will close this letter now as the sun will soon be up and Claude will be here shortly.

It has been nice to have someone to share my grief with over the years on our anniversary, even if was Claude. We never watched the sun rise after the first one. But he was always here and did as you asked him to do. Yes my lover I know you asked him to stay and watch over me to make sure I kept my promise to you. Do not be mad with him now. He isn't to blame for the promise I am breaking today. You did not fail in allowing me the time I would need to move on in this life.

But it is time for me to move on my lover. Time for me to be with those that mean the most to me. I love you more now than I have ever love you. And I can't wait until I can hold you once again and speak those words to you again. I know how much you loved it when I wrote to you so that is why I am writing you now. So that just like I will always have written proof that you love me now and forever, you too will have the same written proof of my love and devotion to you.

So it is with regret that I end this letter on such a mournful note. I have done all you have asked of me but alas the last request you made of me I cannot fulfill. I can not walk this earth any longer with out you here. I am truly sorry but it is a promise I must break now.

I want you to know that when I drink the last of your blood my love it will not be the end for us but the beginning. Our beginning of forever. Because my lover, as it turns out even being immortal has an expiration date.

My eternal devotion and love,

E
