This is a continuation of "A Gentle Goodbye"

Was There Forever? (01/01)

Forever was an amount of time of unending waiting.  Of loneliness and
darkness, till the light of another reached her life.  Tracy Vetter, now
Tracy Dillenger wife of Thomas Dillenger was in a bed at the local hospital.
Machines were on all around her, trying to keep her mortal physical body
alive.  Her soul was long gone, far away, journeying to the light the bright
light at the end of the tunnel.

There was no end, just silence, light. Light that was so bright....

Tracy's eyes snapped opened to see a doctor over her examining her eyes with
a bright flashlight.
"Forgive me, Ms. Dillenger..." he apologized. "You were not responding for a
few minutes, and we were getting a little worried..."
"I'm alright," she cut him off sharply trying to sit up in her bed.  The
doctor helped her up worrying for her fragile health.
"Please do call if you need assistance," the doctor told her. "Just in
case."
"Thank you Dr. Thompson, but I will be alright," she replied.
The doctor looked worried at her then turned and left the room.

Tracy laid back on her pillow sitting up on her bed staring at the night
scene outside.  The moon glowed with silver shining on the beautiful city of
Toronto.  A city that she had lived in all her life, a city that she
experienced the most amazing experiences in.  She closed her eyes, she knew
she was dying.  After all, a hundred was long enough for any mortal person
even in the 21st century.

She did not know how long that she had slept, there was only darkness in her
sleep no dreams no nightmares.  However, she knew something or someone was
around her watching her.
"Thomas," she murmured softly recovering from her sleep. "Is that you?"
The figure said not a word and came up to her. She felt a light kiss on her
forehead and that was all she felt.

"Forever is an eternity of life's greatest treasures.  Forever is a block of
time between death and life..." he gently kissed her on the lips. "One last
goodbye, before this world is gone.. and you are renewed..."
Tracy's eyes opened wide as she gasped knowing who the stranger was.
"Lucien?"
There was nothing, no one in front of her.  Tracy looked at the curtains
which played with the wind as the silver moon graced in the dark night sky
with the stars.

The night indeed signaled a new beginning, two lovers lost in the night.
One day however, in lives beyond lives, in time beyond time.  The paths of
Tracy Vetter and Lucien LaCroix will cross again to meet and join for all
eternity.
