So, I called and would put the phone to Philip's ear so he could hear how loved he was and how much he had touched so many lives. I like to think it helped him, but I do know it helped everyone on the other side of the phone.
On the evening of his passing, I was downstairs when his nurse came down to me and told Steve and I that it was time to come up. It was 9:30. I sat by his side and I never stopped talking until he left this world -- and me -- at 2:20 in the morning on September 18, 2011. It was two days after our 32nd anniversary of our wedding. I think he purposely waited so not to ruin the memory of our gloriously exquisite marriage.(Note: You can view every article as one long page if you sign up as an Advocate Member, or higher).
