Ellie.. the brown haired half up half down beautiful hair she had, that's how you recognize her. You’d loved her for years and years, through the good and the bad. It didn’t matter how tough things got, she was always there and so were you.

You knew it was all worth it when you saw her teary eyes as you walked down the aisle, her beautiful, deep, mesmerizing green eyes.

It’s been years since that day, but your love hasn’t changed, not even a little. God, you didn’t even feel the time pass. But there you were, watching your two kids from the porch of your big farmhouse as they played in the snow.

You were practically swallowed by your coat, leaning against the porch as your fingers clung to the warm tea cup, seeking some warmth.

“I can watch them for a bit while you go warm up inside.” Your wife said with a warm laugh as she leaned back against the porch, glancing over at you.

“No, it’s fine. I can’t take my eyes off them, and you know that.” You said with a little laugh, your eyes flickering over to her, locking with hers. God, there it was again, that deep, comforting feeling her eyes gave you, the eyes that always made you feel like nothing could ever hurt again.

“Your nose is completely red. I know you, my love. Don’t worry, I can keep their little heads from falling in the snow.” She said in that gentle voice of hers.

You had slightly turned toward her, so you didn’t see the snowball rushing directly toward the back of her head. “Oww!” She yelped as you turned around to look at what happened. You could see the slight anger and irritation in her eyes, but when you looked at your son’s wide, proud smile, you couldn’t share her gaze.

“I’m gonna fuck him up.” She muttered with an excited smirk as she ran off the porch, grabbing some snow on the way.

You turned back around and there she went, originally you wanted to make sure that your little ones wouldn’t fall and turn the white snow as red as strawberries but then the next snow ball hit you and you knew exactly that it was over for them now.
