SOME ONE CLOSE YOU LOVE IS PASSING AWAY WHAT DO YOU DO?
It's so true, someone close you love so much is slowly passing away in front of you, and you are helpless.
In my case it is my wife, who will turn 71 years old on March 1st, 2009, she has had diabetes and now has severe leg damage in her legs, it's to the point she can't walk, I have to make sure that she has her walker and also a 'scooter" that helps her get around.
I have been designated as the cook, cleaner and still I have to hold down a part time job, which allows me to get away from the house for a few hours and that is all. I never want to be gone long, because I never know what could happen to my wife.
Today has been a bad day for her since she can't seem to walk, so I am doing the best I can at getting her everything she needs. I listen for her every movement, I listen because I never know when she will fall, and I listen because I love her so much. My wife, has been a blessing that every man should have, she has taught me things I never would have known, and she as stayed with me when I was sick and fell on the floors having epileptic seizures. She was always there for me, she was there for me the night of May 8th, 2005 when I received the call that my mother had passed away while in a Florida nursing home. That also was the night of my birthday, May 8th, what a time to remember.
We have been married some 18 years and those have been the best of times, and sometimes it seemed like the worst of times, but during it all I have continued to love and adore this woman who I call my wife.
She has been there for me when I was sick, now I need to be there for her, and I will. GOD I wish the pain would come to me, because I seem to tolerate pain better.
There really is nothing that I would not do, if I could to help her, I mean, I love her so much, I do not want to lose her, I don't want her to leave, I love her that much.
We both have been down different roads, and we both have seen so many changes, but when I look back there are the special times I remember with my wife, like prior to getting married in 1988, we were living in Douglasville, just off of Fairburn Road, and we would walk the drive way at night, just talking and loving each other and holding hands. Then as the drive curved, I would take my stick and scribble in the sand "I LOVE YOU", sometimes I would add a big heart with a arrow through and have our initials in the middle, "A.P. Loves E.P". now this was love.
We talked about so many things, and it was amazing that through those times of being together I do not remember us watching a TV show, all I remember was holding hand and loving each other.
We were young, so we thought, we had both been through bad divorces, and that was something I never wanted to happen again in my life, and you know GOD gave me the right wife, and she was always so good to me. We loved to share times and stories, we loved to sit close to each other, we were so inseparable it was crazy.
I know that my wife has just a little more time to live and GOD knows I want her to have the best of what time there is for both of us. I want to be so close that we are now sleeping in the same bed that was once just normal. We are sleeping with other and praying before we close our eyes. We love each other, and I don't mean in the sexual way, we are loving each other in thoughts and prayers and deeds of action.
GOD Bless my wife, who I love so much, and give me strength to go through these times, that I know will come.
We have started to go back to the church that we once went to in days of old, and that is Rock Fellowship, there we learned so much, and there we also because closer to the LORD.
Could this be a sign of things to come?
I have no family except those of her daughters and son, I have no one else in my life, I am so alone and I am afraid of what will happen to me, when something happens to her, I know I will lose it all.
All I ask is that GOD please give me strength, to carry on, and watch after her while my wife is here, and please let me take care of her, and I pray that the family does not throw me out to the dogs.
The woman I married on April 12, 1988 was Edna E.Patti, and we became close partners as well as lovers and I do not want anyone to ever separate us. I Love my wife.
