I Chose Myself

Synopsis

Camdyn Finch and I were Goldburg's famous "perfect couple." We spent fifty years together, a golden anniversary, children and grandchildren, growing old side by side. Yet on his deathbed, the name on his lips was not mine. "Sherlyn... I've been fair to you and the children all my life. The only one I failed... was her. That year, Dahlia met the wrong man and got pregnant. "If I had married her, she wouldn't have been cast out by her family, she wouldn't have jumped to her death." "If there is another life," he whispered, "will you let me marry Dahlia first?" Tears blurred my vision. I nodded. "All right." Then I opened my eyes again. This time, I gave him what he wanted. I let him choose his real love. And this time, I decided to live a different life too.
