In fact, he died shortly after she said those words. My parents were as close as any two people I've ever met, so I can see why he waited to hear those words from her lips before letting go. I anticipate I will do the same thing if my death is a lingering one.Edwin Reesehttp://thecomortofheaven.orgnoreply@blogger.com
