I Said Goodbye This Morning...

Almost right at 12 noon

I bent over the bed and got my arms under her and held her to me. I put my lips right close to her ear and said, “This will be our last adventure but you’ll have to finish without me. I’ll get by ok and be alright. I’ll always love you. I always like looking at you, hearing your voice and having you near me. Goodbye Sweetheart.”

I went home hoping that would be the last time I saw her alive. I had no intention of my last memory being seeing her dead. Our daughter and grand daughter were with her when her breathing changed drastically about 430 and she died right at 5PM.

My last memory of looking at her is alive. Her color was good her face smooth and at peace. I said what I wanted her to hear. There’s no unfinished business. I’m good.
