The love of my life wasn't the best guy in the world. He was spoiled and jealous at times, thoughtful and sweet sometimes. We often struggled financially. It was a rocky relationship, but we stuck it out, raised our 4 children together, and welcomed 9 grandchildren in to our big loving family. Now he is gone, and my whole world is ripped wide open. I have many mixed emotions coming and going. I can't believe he left me here like this. I stayed by his bedside for 66 days, 5 hospitals, sleeping in a chair 64 of those nights. I would never leave him alone. Now, for the first time in my adult life, I am afraid. I never felt fear when he was here. He was the only person who never abandoned me, until now. His last day plays over and over in my mind. This is the most intense pain I have ever felt.
