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.
