Dear Ken

Dearest Ken,
I remember the day before you were put on the respirator, the nurses made you take off your rings and your watch. You gave them to me and spent the rest of the day looking at your wrist and asking me what time it was. You had a big clock on the wall, but couldn't focus on it. Every time you asked me what time it was, you repeated that it was the longest day. Time was going so slowly for you that day. Well, I just wanted you to know that you were wrong that day. Today was in fact the longest day. I was kicked out of the hospital this morning because I was coughing. So I came back to the hotel room and worked on our Christmas project. I only called the hospital 3 times to check on you. I just kept looking at my watch and wishing the day would go faster so I could get over this cold faster. I wish I had been with you, but they were right. I need to get over this cold. I think it is almost gone. I feel so much better tonight. I haven't coughed but maybe twice in the last 6 hours. Let's hope it is gone by tomorrow. I miss you to much to stay away again.
I love you. I know the Lord is taking care of you and I know you will get thru this. So, when you read this, you'll know that I am missing you more than ever. Talk to you soon. Bev
