GI Joe and Ebony, An American Love Story Read Online Free PDF

hard for us and even though our hearts hurt like hell and even though we haven't had an opportunity to really begin the mourning process we are going to do what Jay would want us to do and that is to live. So, tonight we are going to have a good time. We are going to celebrate a life that was way too short but very well lived.
    Everyone who knew Jay knows that he loved music and he loved to dance. There will be plenty of time for us to mourn. But tonight I invite all of you to dance with me in honor of my brother- Major Jason Terrell Saunders of the United States Marine Corp. And I petition you to dance in appreciation of all the soldiers, like my brother and my husband, who have dedicated their lives to the United States armed forces so that we can have the right- no, the privilege and the opportunity to live, to love, to dance and to be free.
    Wedding guests wipe tears, hold back tears and allow tears to flow freely. The room is silent as the DJ cues a fast paced song. Ebony starts to dance alone and is quickly joined by GI Joe. One by one everyone begins to dance in celebration. No one could see him, but Jay was out there dancing with them. Happy, at peace and with no regrets he celebrated his sister's wedding and his extraordinary life.
    ~*~*~
    After the reception the happy couple rushes to the limo to the cheers of the crowd who threw rose petals ’ at them. The car pulls off and barrels down the road. They continue to wave goodbye to the cheering crowd as the car disappears. An elated GI Joe grabs Ebony and kisses her hard in the mouth.
    “Woman, I am so in love with you. And I ’ m going to spend the rest of my life proving it to you every day that I live. ”
    Overwhelmed, Ebony was completely speechless. Tears burst from her eyes and flowed down her beautiful face like pouring rain. By some miracle she had survived this day from the bowels of hell and she knew that GI Joe was that miracle.
    “You ’ re the brightest part of my day … And you have been since the day I met you. I love you. I love you more than I love me. As hard as today was for me, when I saw your face, you made my heart smile. I love you GI Joe. ”
    “Ebony, I ’ m so sorry about Jay. I feel guilty that I made it home and he didn ’ t. ”
    “It ’ s okay. We don ’ t have to talk about Jay right now. Today is our day. ” Ebony put her finger over his lips to silence him.
    She then wiped a lone tear that trailed down her husband ’ s handsome face. She sampled his lips and found them to be sweeter than she had ever known. A virtual bundle of nerves and mixed emotions she drew a deep breath, sighed and then exhaled deeply. Finding some resemblance of peace for the moment she turns to take one more look back, only to see Jay, in full military gear, standing alone in the middle of the road. He slowly waves good-bye. She smiles and blows him a kiss good-bye. He pretends to catch it and place it in his shirt pocket. Then he smiles, turns and runs away into brightness of the late setting sun. Ebony smiles, turns away and snuggles in the massive, loving arms of her groom, Colonel Joseph Carr AKA GI Joe.
     
    Not the End, But the Beginning of a Life Full of Love.
