I heard from my friend that her husband gave her a real star from kingdom of universe. He also told her that it’s a symbol of their love. He said his feelings to her will never end and she’s the brightest side of his life! I was so jeleous when she told me!
My husband and I celebrated our 29 th wedding anniversary on April 29,2018 he passes away the next morning on April 30,2018
We never got to celebrate our anniversary he was so sick that day we just stayed home with our grandkids and parents. I never ever imagined that life would turn out the way it did. Three weeks before his passing he told me that I was going to do cpr on him and I said to him you can’t say things like this to me are you crazy. So guess what April 30,2018 I did work on my husband and I got him back twice. The first time I got him back he looked at me for a few seconds and then he closed his eyes I kept working on him and he opened his eyes a second time looked at me for a few seconds and then he closed them again I was crying and telling him don’t do this to me so I just kept doing cpr on him until the ambulance came but I knew when he closed his eyes the second time that he was gone. Paramedics could save him. He died of heart failure. So later on that day in the hospital waiting for family members I just sat there and watched him he was so at peace like he had a smile on him and that pain and sick look he had all the time all went away he just layed there so peaceful like no more hurt and pain. So I got thinking about what he had told me three weeks before he left me. I said you dam bugger you you knew I was going to work on you and you made sure that it was me the first time and you had to make sure that it was still me working on you that’s why you looked at me a second time and then you were gone. Oh how I miss him.
I am so sorry t hear that.
Oh! So very sorry for your terrible loss.
Hilda,
I found myself looking for ideas for my 29th wedding anniversary and came across your story.My deepest condolences to you for your loss. I can’t put into words how it made me feel when reading your words about how he opened his eyes and looked at you not once but twice. Thank you for sharing your story. It’s a story that reminds us that life is short. I hope that you are doing well in your life’s journey.
