Six years ago, today, my soulmate, the love of my life, passed from this life to the next.
People came to visit him all night long.
In the morning, the doctors said there was nothing they could do and it was just a matter of time. I asked if everyone had come in. His brother said they had.
All the family had come in to see him and had gone back to the waiting room. All night, everyone came and no one went home. They were all there for him. They were all there for me.
Joe and I had spoken at length about what we wanted when we passed. Each of us had asked each other to not be kept on life support. So, as always, I was prepared to make sure his wishes were followed.
I asked the doctors to take him off life support.
The doctors asked, “Are you sure?” Without hesitation I said, “Yes.” When you love someone, you respect them and their wishes till the end.
They agreed but said they had a procedure to follow. They would start it right away and would come back as soon as they could.
All night I was by Joe’s side, holding his hand as he seemed to look at me with his eyes half opened. I told him not to worry, that they would come back soon.
Soon after I said that, the nurses came. Joe’s heart had stopped. Once again, he had proven his love to me. Joe stopped his heart at exactly that time to protect me. Although, I was willing to carry out his wishes, he did not want me to live with that decision.
We held hands all night as he held on until all the family had come in to see him. And, at 7:08 AM, he let go, proving his love to me till the very end.
On this day and always! I think of you, My Love! Thank you for continuing to love me, protect me, and care for me the way you do. I Love you till the end of time and beyond!
Start Again, Not Over!

What a beautiful reflection. It makes us realize a lot about our lives and what we take for granted. Sometimes, we wait till our loved ones pass away to realize how much we love them. On the other hand, expressing our feelings and appreciating our love ones helps us live happy and and healthier lives.
