As I sit and wait for them to come and take you away, I am taken back to the beginning of my life. The day I lost my breath when I met your eyes. For me, even the act of breathing was never the same again Every movement, every thought, every second For the rest of my days was centered around you. I no longer thought as one, but as a part of something too big for me to comprehend life without. The very act of living was doubled Sometimes the happiness too much for my heart, thus tears of joy. Strangely, although my sadness became much easier to bear, Yours created a pain unimagineable to me before. My pride in us surely makes me beam brighter than the sun. The love for our children has made us more full than any universe No man could ask for more in this life!! But God forgive me I must. Please God. I know you love her too. And I know that letting me love her was the greatest gift on earth. But as you took my breath away when I first saw her. Take my breath away with my last glimpse of her................Amen
