The team of surgeons pulled me aside and told me in the most compassionate way she was probably not going to make it! This was a very bad dream and I needed to wake up now! It seemed a few hours ago our life together had such a bright future with many plans to create memories together. How in the world did we end up here? Everything was happening way to fast. I told everyone the tragic news and found a quiet corner and collapsed. This was a huge turning point for me because I literally gave up and started to accept that I was going home alone. During the next hour or so, all the church members, family and friends said their good byes. I went in to her hospital room where she lay pale, swollen and connected to many monitors and a feeding tube. I dropped to my knees and prayed. I grabbed her swollen hand and said "If it is your time to go, give Jesus a hug for me and I will see you soon" , "If it is not, give Jesus a hug and come back to me!" At that moment, out of the blue she squeezed my hand! In a instant, I was given some hope!
