Held her hand, told her I loved her. easily the most emotional moment of my life. I am destroyed. Completely and utterly destroyed. She may live for a few more days (She is being transferred today to a hospice close by) but I really don't know if I am going to visit her again. I never ever want to go through what i went through today.
