How do you say good bye after 37 years. Of love, friendship, good times and the bad. The hurts the happiness. Stupid and gut wrenching funny times. Sad times. Joyful times. To realize you were my very first true love. But in the end. We ended up being best friends. We have so much history some good some not so good but we were lucky enough to still love each other in the end. Maybe not the way we had hoped and dreamed. But we did. And now here I sit with tears running down my cheeks missing you selfishly. Wishing for one more memory. One more laugh. But I couldn’t ask you to stay any longer. Your pain had become unbearable. You had given of yourself to you sister and your mom unselfishly. When you just want to just wanted to lay down and die yourself. But you didn’t. You kept going and going. With some prettty close calls. But you pushed through. On Monday evening August 7, 2023, I pick up the phone to your voice full of fear. You knew you things were not good as you waited for the ambulance to arrive. All you ask of me was to hear my voice to calm you. As we had done a million times before. Once in the ambulance you told me I will call you once I am at the hospital. Twenty minutes goes by and you call your voice is weaker. You tell me your tired, I tell you I know. You say I just need to rest I have so much left to do for you. I said I love you and if you need go it’s okay. I will be fine. You don’t have to stay for me. Okay love you……….. Hours go by and I hear nothing. Finally the Hospital calls Ms Roberts, we’re calling about Prince. We kept him on fluids and gave him blood transfusions, and try to resuscitate him but we couldn’t bring him back. I am so sorry for your lost. That call came at 2:02 AM August 8, 2023……. Life Is Too Short!
