An evening I never wish to relive.

 An evening I never wish to relive.

I stood my ground, unwavering in my decision, fearlessly insisting that he be taken to the farthest hospital if it meant he would receive the best possible care. They argued that I was going against what had been decided, but nothing could stop me from trying to give him every chance we had.

The ambulance ride, with its blaring sirens, pierced through my heart. Little did I know that he wasn't simply taking a detour, he was slowly beginning his final journey.

Back in the grind again… scared of the tasks ahead and overwhelmed by the weight of responsibilities. Last year, on this very day, we were holding onto each other, promising that no matter what life brought our way, we would never let go. We believed no hardship could break our strength, and together we would face every low and rise back into better days. When I look back at that moment, gently holding your feet, comforting you, silently promising myself that I would stand beside you, fight for you, and never let anything separate us for years to come, it hurts to realize that today, I no longer even have a reason to look forward to this date. Piece by piece, I am trying to gather what remains and hold everything together for our children. But the soft whispers of reassurance that once gave me strength are slowly fading into silence.
