I don’t fear leaving this world; I only fear Keith being alone in it. If I could choose, I’d outlive him, not out of selfishness, but out of love. Still, life writes its own endings. I can’t choose when my story ends, but I pray he’s never left to walk it without me.
You trying to make me cry. That's most loving thing I've ever read. I can identify with that because my wife and I have been together for more than 50 years. I'm a number of years older than she is. I know it's most likely I'll be gone before her and she's going to be alone. We have no children..
I've done one of the worst things a husband can do in a marriage and that is I do everything regarding banking insurance medical insurance all of the little things that when a spouse dies the other person doesn't know where to start.
She doesn't realize it but I have been having her do more of that lately.
Just this week her truck wouldn't start. I did nothing. She called the road service had it towed to our mechanic and took care of everything. Like you I have no fear of death, I never have. My only fear is for her being alone.
Wow, this has gotten a little deep.
