My wife died today. I knew that she had a bad cold. She had been feeling poorly for about a week. She had asthma, and her breathing was rough last night . I awoke her at six this morning telling her that it was high time to get her to the hospital for a session with a nebulizer. She told me that she would be OK with that if I would let her rest til 8 am, she would be fine with that. She was still alive and spoke with me at six this morning . By 8am she was gone .
She was only 46. She was a MD. She had a Masters in Public Health. She had been a Captain in the Army. I had no idea at all what the hell she ever saw in me. She had lived a life of service . Money was not what it was about for her. She went in to work early and left late. We were always so broke it was unreal, but it was the people that mattered to her.
Hug your loved ones , it is so fleeting . I never dreamed of this when I went to bed last night. I honestly think that she would be alive right now had I gotten her into the ER when we awoke this morning .
