Transitioning Hours

Watching your changing breath by the light of the Christmas tree and fireplace. Giving all I have to honor your transition...morphine to relax your lungs, soft magical music to nourish your soul, the loving touch of my hand...I'm breathing w you...I'll take over your breath when you are ready...such beauty and deep grief ...and in these final hours your strength, serenity, and your never-ending love for me still carry and help me to finally carry you. No love could be deeper...that love we will both carry for eternity.
