As I held her in my arms and kissed her, I remembered those vows we said to each other on that Friday night so many years ago. We had certainly kept our word to each other. She was the only woman I had kissed in the 49 years since I was19 years old and probably the only woman I will ever kiss. My life changed the day I met her.

She was in a hospital…

How and why did her lung collapse?

How and why did she go into cardiac arrest?

How did the femoral artery become blocked?

28 hours ago she only had the flu

I shouldn’t have to make this decision…

21 days of agony

A wife, mother, sister, friend, a life destroyed.
