To the one I love

Memorial Day Weekend was a scary time for us. Tyson was not feeling well earlier that week and of course I was like you are such a baby. Friday night he went to bed and was not feeling well. Saturday morning we are in the ER being check. They checked him over and said that they were going to run some blood work and see what came from that. The nurse comes in turns and looks at me and says your husband is having a heart attack. I said are you kidding. Of course he was not. So as fast as we were in the room was as fast as he was off to have his heart looked at. I could see that he was really scared and you could see his discomfort. At this point I was in shock, but thought I need to be strong for him and let him know he will be ok. He started to cry and told me to tell the boys he loved them and we were off down the hall. I give him a kiss I went one way and he went another. There I am standing in a waiting room holding his belonging and wedding ring in my hand. Praying that it will be ok and leaving it up to my Heavenly Father to decide our journey. Family came and was me, which I am so grateful to have. After an hour I think, I was trying not to ponder on the time, it may have been longer. He came out and was to not move for the next 6 hours, so to ICU we went to recover. After 3 days in ICU and a really bad nurse. The conclusion was that a piece of plaque had broken off in the heart and bacteria had attached itself to the plaque, then his body created a clot to get rid of the bacteria. So now we are on 2 RX for life most likely, an Aspirin a day, Ibuprofen and 3 different kinds of vitamins. We are walking and eating are fruits and veggies. When I was standing there holding his things I thought to myself I thought we would be old before we had to do something like this, and what would I tell the boys, how would Broden remember him, have I done everything possible to let him know that he is my only one, and have I taken care of him and said the things I should have instead of things I shouldn't have.

So To the one I love:
You make me smile bigger then any one ever could
You make my dark days light
