"Oh no, I would never leave him"

This statement came from Mrs. Bailey. She was describing the final days of her husbands life. They are dear friends and have been married for 65 years this July.

We were discussing the long nights in the hospital and the lack of sleep, but when asked if she would come home and rest she said, "Oh no, I would never leave him". It wasn't an arrogant statement, it wasn't a guilty statement. Being with Kenny like that was just like being at home. There was no better place than WITH HIM!

While there is much more to the story, I am stopping here because all I need to know is found in her simple words. I look forward to growing old with you Lori!
