As I held Josh’s hand, looked at his face, eyes shut, tubes in his nose and throat, I teared trying to hold back my emotions from a full-blown cry. It had been several months, and the doctors tried everything, but he remained unresponsive. Every day I prayed for a miracle, but deep within, I knew there wasn’t one. So, I continued to speak and visit him often.
Today he’s being taken off the machines, and now it’s time for final goodbyes.
I watched his chest move slowly up and down until his final breath.
A cold shiver.
He was gone.
