The Collision
I reached for the emergency button when I realized that his coughs were intensifying,
But, it was already too late.
We could all sense him slipping away from us.
His last words were, “Tell Savannah I love her.” And then he was gone.
Just like that.
No other words, and yet he had said it all.
I guess in a way, he was one of the lucky ones… those lucky ones that managed to transition in the presence of their loved ones.
