Death
The wait II
So here we are again. Back to the waiting.
In the last week, he had stabilized and been moved out of the ICU. I visit him often. Almost everyday before I leave work, I stop by to see him. He looks weak and old, more so than I've ever seen him look and sometimes he doesn't even seem to know who I am. But most times he's asleep. And peaceful. And i sit by his bedside.
But now he's been moved back. And we're back. To waiting.
..
We didn't have to wait long. Almost immediately, the wait ended. And with it came a personal realization.
I would have rather had the wait.
