Leaving me lifeless
So each night as I sleep in bits
I touch you to
Feel the heart beat
To know
You still live
And to let you know
You are my life
My breath catches
Until I feel yours
In the day if you nap
I watch
The rise and fall
Of your chest
That tells me
You are still with me
My love

I've done this very thing. More than once too. It's just what happens.
Have a terrific day honey. :)
I can imagine just how you feel.
OMG how well I know these words, it is my story too. Papa Bear's heart sounded so deceptively strong to my ear pressed against his chest, but now I know that it tells lies, and I touch him in his sleep to make sure that I can still feel it beating, and I listen to his breathing and nudge him if it is irregular. Once that innocence is lost I think that we will never truly sleep well again! HUGS to you, and long, long life to your beloved!
sad and happy...happy he lived and is still with you...though that fear, its so very real.
What a beautiful tribute to love. such a scary situation but makes one so grateful for a good outcome! Blessings
How awesome are those (heartfelt) words. So poignant.
Great job, Gail.
Oh way to choke a tough farmgirl all up:) Hugs B

Gail,
Dennis is your love, your soul mate. Living with heart disease always makes you more alert, you watch, and touch to make sure everything's alright even in the middle of the night.
Beautiful, Touching, Tender . . . Loving!
Beautiful and poignant! A promise to grow old together holds on...
*hugs*
Been there for a lot of that. Know just what you mean.

I read this yesterday and had to take a breath and walk away. 'these few words, expressed so well, I have shared in my heart and soul. You hit the nail on the head Gail - beautifully felt and understood. I especially love this one and I can feel it.....
Hope some day you can relax:)
Made me cry, but it was so lovely.
