We set my darling husband, Matt, free today.
He made me promise to do it, but he clung to life even when life offered him nothing but pain. He was a fighter to the end.
He was comfortable, and he did not appear distressed--but he was stronger than anyone imagined.
He was surrounded by his children, siblings, father, and wife. We cried, and sang, and told stories, and laughed--and then cried some more. I can only hope he felt the love as he left.
I know that this is not a proper tribute to Matt, but the best of this journey has already been chronicled here. He was the finest man I've ever known, and I will miss him every day for the rest of my life.
