My DB passed away quietly in his sleep yesterday morning.
He fought such a long time. But in the end, cancer won and his body wasn't able to keep going.
He was at home with me and I held his hand at the end.
He has spent weeks asking me if it was going to rain. He loved a good cleansing downpour.
Every day, "Is it supposed to rain today?" I'd say, "No, Pauly, not today." While holding his hand yesterday, I looked out the window and saw the rain. I described the silver-gray sky, the soft rainfall, and the gentle breeze. As I was telling him how lovely it was, he took his last breath and left on the wings of angels.
I miss him so much. But I am so thankful he is no longer in pain and that he didn't suffer.
Thank you all for being here during this awful journey.
