So beautiful, actually teared up a bit.

Thank you so much for this.

If only the writers had let us have a proper Chax goodbye.

That was pretty beautiful, especially ......

 ‘She gave up everything for you, and you can’t even say goodbye!’

 A million scenes flashed through his mind, their first kiss, her bright eyes, her warm smile, the good, the bad and the ugly, the tears, the laughter, the love.

He thought about her death, her lying there, surrounding in her own blood, alone and scared, he cursed himself for not being there with her, for not savouring each moment they spent together as their last, for taking her for granted, for hurting her so much, for loving her too much.

 “You really did know how to drive a man crazy.” His words caused a small eruption of laughter amongst the crowd. “I think it’s safe to say you thought I was trouble the first time we met and we just did not get along, you were over-protective of Rubes being around Casey, because of me and Heath, and I really didn’t blame ya. But you finally cracked, Leah’s kitchen, our first kiss, I remember it like it was yesterday, and I won’t be forgetting it anytime soon either.”

 “Charlie, you changed me, for the better, and I’m forever thankful to you. I never deserved you, ever. And to this very day I still think about why on earth you chose a guy like me when you could have had anyone at all, but you did choose me, and I’m glad you did, because the little time we’ve spent together has been the best in my life.”

 The crowd watched silently as Brax pulled a ring box out of his pocket, he opened it and glanced down at it, “I was going to ask her to marry me.” Sobs could be heard much louder this time, from all angles of the church as they well and truly realised just how much of a loss Charlie was to them all.

 “This isn’t supposed to be goodbye Charlie, it’s supposed to be our new life together, we should be in the City by now, a happy family, but life’s never that easy, and it certainly hasn’t been for us.”

Brax sighed as he rounded up his goodbye to the one he loved dearly, “But I have to face the facts baby. This is Goodbye.”

He silently ran his hand over his face before he spoke his final words,

“Until the day we’ll meet again in a much better place, goodbye Charlie, I’ll love you forever, my soul mate, my angel, my one, true love.”
