She is Gone Now!
She left us March 13, 2010 about 4:30 in the evening.
All five of our children were there when she went away.
We will always regret the day that we heard the words,
"There is NO HOPE!"
The doctors only just gave her the dreaded verdict of cancer, and already one month later she is gone.
Now we will be on our own.
She was our rock our post to lean on.
She was my best friend in the entire world.
After 39+ years of happiness, we have gone our separate ways for a while.
I still don't know what I will do without her--how I will go on or what I will do without her.
The thing that keeps me going is knowing that someday I have the hope of rejoining her in the sweet by and by.
She knew that it was time for her to leave this world.
She told our preacher that she wouldn't be coming out of the hospital this time.
She called me to the hospital one night when one of our sons was sitting with her.
She told me to get down there.
When I did she kissed me and said bye.
I told her I wasn't going anywhere she said that she was.
I asked where she was going.
She replied matter-of-factly, "I am going to be with God now."
I really expected her to quit breathing right then, because of how calmly she said it.
She kept breathing for a couple of more days or maybe it was three more before she finally breathed her last.
On the 13th, of March she gradually breathed her last after each of us had a chance to say our final goodbyes.
Gently in a final and lasting sleep she closed her eyes.

Post a CommentI'm sorry for your loss. I know it hurts. Writing poetry was very cathartic for me when my wife died. I wish you would read Lonely House on my AC site, if you haven't.
Thanks One and All for your kind comments on this piece. We were caught off guard by it happening so soon. She told me, though, before ever going to the doctor that she wouldn't be coming home from the hospital. The doctor hadn't even told her that she was going to the hospital yet, but she knew somehow that her life was ending. At least she isn't in pain anymore, but Oh how I miss her. Thanks again for reading and commenting. Johnny Yuma
Johnny, I'm so sorry! Sorry for your loss. Also sorry I haven't had more time to get around to people on AC lately. Prayers out to you and your family.
I am truely sorry for your loss. Your words here have touched me. Do stay strong sir, and keep writing, for us, for yourself, and for her. You have my deepest sympathies, and I will keep you in my thought - All best, Walton (William S. Tribell)
Johnny, my heart breaks for your loss. We are praying for you and all your children. I pray that God's pease is with you in this time of great sorrow.
Johnny, I saw your comments on some other articles and realized you lost your wife. It all happened so fast, I know you are in shock as well as grief. My husband died suddenly 12 years ago, and it was several months before I said, or thought, one day "I haven't cr4ed today." It IS true but not very comforting that time heals. In the meantime, you only have to do the next thing. Not everything. Just the next thing. You will get through this. God bless you and keep you. I will pray for you that even in your pain, you treasure memories and knowledge of the depth of your love. So sorry.
You have my deepest sympathy my dear friend. God loves you. Just pray to him daily and he will be your footprints in the sand.
Knowing how much you love her, I can't imagine the loss you feel. My heart goes out to you, and I pray for you and your family. I know her spirit is with you now and will be with you forever more. You are so lucky to have had that kind of love. Everybody knew how special she was to you. I'm sure you were just as special to her. God bless you and your kids.
Johnny, I am so sorry for your deep loss. And, five kids, the five kids - my heart goes out to all of you, absolutely. God Bless ' + '
I am so sorry for your loss...this brings tears to my eyes. My thoughts are with you and your kids.
