My feelings towards her have finally become clear. She isn’t a lover to me. I thought she was, and perhaps if she had chosen me instead of Kyo I might have considered it, but I have Maichi now and she holds my heart. No, Miss Honda isn’t like a lover, or even a sister or close friend. She’s like a mother to me, a mother I never had. I think perhaps she is the most important person in my life.

I don’t know when I realized it, but maybe it’s just the way she generally cares for everyone and everything without question. Maybe it was how she always seemed to know when something was bothering me, even if I thought I was masking it so well. Or maybe it’s how she always seems to have a smile on her face, even when the worst case scenario is right in front of her.

I know it sounds silly as she is the same age as I, but in reality, though she might be younger than some of us, I think she has a wisdom beyond her years. She may not be the smartest person in her class, but she is the one that will be optimistic at all times and yearn to do her best.

Tohru Honda, I love you, and you are the glue that holds this fragile Sohma clan together. You’re a godess inside and out, and as I see you take Kyo’s hand and walk down the aisle today dressed beautifully in white, I know that your pure heart will love not only him, but everyone for all time.
