Steve's flying free

[scaredwifetx]

I have shared so much here over the years that I feel that this part of journey should be shared here before anyone or anywhere else.

I hope that this helps a CAL somewhere.

Steve was very anxious last night and today about the mask coming off and his breathing. He was fighting the meds meant to keep him comfortable. We were told that this would take a few days.

I talked to Steve and let him know to be a peace and trust me and the team. I told him I was going to go lay down and get some sleep.

I was asleep and then heard his voice. I went into his room and he was here but non responsive.

I told him how wonderful my life was with him and that his mom would come get him. He laid there for a minute then smiled and left with his mom. I know this.

He did what he has always done. Thought of me first making sure I got some rest.

He died peacefully with me in his arms and help on his way out.

Thanks for sharing, Deb. I know your story will help your fellow CALS.

Very happy that Steve is flying free, from a place of peace and love. You made it all possible for him.

Best,

Oh Deb, a peaceful end, and he gave you this so that you will never have to look back and wonder what if anything. This beast can never chew on him again, can never touch him not even a little bit.

Hugging you close my friend, you are amazing and his belief in you is totally valid. I am so proud to call you friend xxxxx

Thank you Tillie. You blessed me so very much with your kindness, support and love. Your book guided me through some dark times and Steve's tree made us both smile.

Im so sorry. I know. But glad at the same time, Deb. Sorry you had to let him go. Glad you got to hold him, and he you. Glad you got to share those moments in time. Glad he's free of those chains and confinement. Glad you have/had the family support to help you. Glad for him that he had you. Glad that you will always have him inside you.

So very sorry for your loss.
