You took a drink it was ice water, an expression of pain as you tilted your head back, and the glass fell to the floor.
I rushed to you, my heart already breaking. With unknown strength, I lifted you from the chair, laid you on the floor, and knelt by your side.
My hand on your cheek, Please, please don’t leave me.
I saw a miracle Your face of nearly seventy years took on the features of a newborn I could almost see your soul leave your body as you ceased to move through life.
Wow, I do know that when people pass from this life to a greater place the worry leaves their face, I've seen it too. This is a good pic of the event. So happy to see you old friend.

This is heartbreaking! I've seen that same look of peacefulness on my mom's face when she passed away. It's beautiful to see, and gives hope for happiness that awaits us. I share your pain.
