>>5554124>>5554126But your brain had suffered too much to remember
Too much to wake up
Too much to feel love
Too much to walk and to speak
We watched your body fight to recover
We fought to keep hope
It was hard to not know if you would come back
They helped your body recover
To give your mind a chance
When time came to see if your mind was recovering
We found it was not
Rebeca was gone
You left us your body to say our goodbyes
I went home that evening and felt so alone
You weren't coming home
I came back later to visit your bed
I was calm when I saw you
Because when I saw you I knew what future lay ahead
We met as a family to make some decisions
They looked to me as your husband
For I had decisions to make for my wife
You were my soul mate and it was so hard
To make the decision to let you pass on
You would NEVER stand to live as a shadow
I made a decision that no one should make
I made the decision to let my wife go
I came the next day to be with my wife
I was wearing her ring and dressed up for her
I wore her favorite color when I sat beside her
I watched as they removed her support
They made sure she stayed comfortable the last hour we had her
I sat on her bed with her hand in my lap
I cuddled with her and felt her warm skin
I needed to remember that feeling for when she was gone
All I could see was my wife before me
Just like it was when I was on my knee
I told her I loved her
Told her how much she had altered my life
I watched as her breathing slowed down
She went to sleep while I held her
When she breathed her last I kissed her good night
I said I love you
Three tiny words to remember her life
Three tiny words that have so much meaning
