Despite the aggressiveness of her cancer, her heart is relatively strong. According to the hospice doctor, most patients at this stage of lung cancer are quite feeble or frail.
Lily is not. As I'm sure you can recall the last time you saw her alive, she was physically fit; hence, strong heart.
As I left the hospital yesterday and came home, I sat down to have a frozen dinner. I was watching the Nightly News with Lester Holt. During one of the news segments, I missed a key word in the story.
Without even thinking about it, I turned and said aloud "what did he say?"
I looked over at the place Lily always sat with her dinner and would answer me.
But this time it was empty.
I must have stared at that spot for 5 minutes. Thinking of all the times I have done that. Hundreds.
And, now, how I'll never hear her voice answering me.
