My February Kiss!

I awaken to the lights and saw the white uniforms. I hear the monitors and feel the IVs in my arms. I am barely able to move and my body is aching with pain. My family and I know the doctors and nurses have done all they possible can. I glance at the television and hear a talk show about Valentine's Day. My Spirit is leaping for joy because of this special day.

I see my spouse bring in the most beautiful flowers and a huge box of candy. At times, I am in so much pain and my breath is very faint. My children come through the door with a big balloon that say, "Happy Valentine's Day!". They, also, give me some cupcakes left over from school. And they give me a big hug, and in the back of my mind I wonder, will this be my last day.

I am so happy. I got flowers, candy, cupcakes, and a balloon. However, something is missing. As I ponder in my mind, what could it be. I feel my body getting colder and my breath more faint. As I take my last breath, I take a look around me and see the Angels with a smile upon their face.

And gently, as I am passing from this place, my spouse comes to me with a smile, and I can see the love in his eyes, and he gives me the one thing I didn't get, and that's my February Kiss.
