Well in some ways a blessing but in others it hurt's to see it end!! My man has a heart that is all done but the man him self keeps going. He has ??? All i know its some thing like_____ Heart Failure or some thing like that. In the 90's he had 6 bi-pass surgery and they all worked but the one that he had heart attack in while the doctor was trying to do that balloon surgery. So every thing was fine except the heart decided it was done before his body was. My only problem is i hope i pass before he does!! You see i am unable to take care of my self. I can walk ca 20 feet with my walker. But if i drop some thing i cannot pick it up because i have no sense of balance, that was how i broke my last hip. Allen always walked behind me and this night for some unknown reason he went ahead of me. Well now i have to tell you about Gus. He was my protector in every way. I had 4 daughters, 12 grand children plus 15 great grand children. Well Gus would not let any of them get to me to hug or kiss good bye. Except my youngest daughter who used to just shove him away. Well when i fell Allen ran back to me but Gus attacked him !! So i am laying on the floor with them two fighting over top of me. Finally got Gus in his bedroom so he could check me out and waited for ambulance to come. We had to have him put away because he was so old. But memories are a life time movie and we have so many about him. Every man that came to our place wanted him. But enough about me its back to you time. I hope what ever happens it goes both of you on the easy side if you know my meaning. God Bless.You. Viola.
