Gone are the days when I put you to bed with kisses and breathless pleasures… Now I bring you your medicines, arrange the pillows to cause you less pain, and hold your hand as you sleep—praying you survive the night. I have never loved you as much as I love you tonight.

When we bought chicks for this year, my wife noticed a chick that was too weak to stand. She chose to buy that chick specifically, and spent the whole day holding it and feeding it with a dropper. It died snuggles against her. I’m reminded of how much I love her.

Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God. He, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood.

I wish I could rewrite your story. You put the gun in your mouth but instead it misfired. You called me back and said you were sorry. You lived to be old. You were beautiful and good. If I could write that it feels like I could keep you alive, but I'm not good enough a writer.
