Dear Journal,                  January 6

Today has been on of those long days. My age has slowly been getting to me. I find it hard to do things I once enjoyed from my younger years. I did what I could do most. Chris was laying in bed. He fallen ill and the doctor me there wasn’t much they could do. I fear that the end of our days were coming faster then we would like to think it. Ruby our dearest and only daughter would be moving soon. I feel sad we can’t go with her to help move things to the new place. Sadly our house is for closer. You will find more about that later, my dear. I feel it time to force on one thing, the TRUTH. Sadly Chris and I haven’t felt it was time or need to tell you. We wanted to tell Ruby so much but I find it was too hard to bear with what happen. I guess that is what one does when they are not ready.

Today I decided to tell Ruby the truth. My kept journals secretly for years hidden away on this computer. I didn’t want her to find out about them until the time was right. Chris seem to understand and thought it was best to tell Ruby the truth. I sat down writing as fast as my old fingers would let me. My breath was pretty much getting heavy at this point of time. Dealing with lifting and uplifting my husband to use the restroom. It was enough to give one a heart attack. Still I sat down to write you, dear journal. You have been my friend since the day of age where I could learn how to write. From all the past memories up until now. I wrote many emails to dearest friends and few special to emails to Ruby. I hope she would understand my crazy thinking. Somehow my mind hasn’t been working write for days now. After I was done writing an email to Ruby, Chris was yelling for me. I lift myself out of the chair and slowly came to his aid. Whatever he needed, I went as fast as my legs would give me. He sat there was a smile on his face.

He voice was weak and aged as he said, “My love, It is time.”

I stare at him for a moment and then said, “Time for what?”

He grin a great grin and said, “It time for us to go to Home now. They are calling us to come home.”

I stared at him for a moment, tears flow from my face. I wasn’t ready to leave. I just starting to cry my eyes out when Chris, my loving husband comforted me. He pulled me a loving hug and whispered sweet nothings to me. I was lost in his warm touch. His sweet saying and way he makes me feel. He softly crashed his lips to mine. Softly kissing me for sometime. Before I knew it was time for us to go. I headed back to the computer. I had to finished writing one last email before I would snuggle with my loving husband and sleep a long sleep.

I wrote what I needed to say. I drew closer to my husband. He breathed in my sweet smell from my hair. He gave me one more kiss. A kiss I will never forgot. A kiss of love and passion in it. It was not the end. No my friends, it is never the end but a new beginning. To a new and better life. I snuggled close to my husband and fell into a deep sleep.
