I got home not too long ago. I spent the whole day with her today and I figured for one night, it was ok to have the kids put to bed without me. I'm not going to go into details about her condition today. I don't care today. I wish there was something encouraging or otherwise to say but I don't have it. She's just still hanging in there. But I didn't really ask about numbers today. I didn't need to know them. All I needed today, was to be by her side, touching her, being with her, feeling her, loving her, consoling her, and quietly relaxing with her as much as I could. She gave me the ability to do that today, on our 5th anniversary. All I know is it broke my heart like words can't describe. But she was still there. I know she heard me. I know she wanted to cry out I love you too. I didn't need to hear it. I knew it. And I knew she felt how much I love her as well. I just sat there much of the time. Just sat there rubbing her arm telling her everything would be ok, and how much I love her. One of her nurses, Andrew, brought in a meditation type cd for her a few days ago and it was quite beautiful. I had it playing for hours as I just lay beside her, stroking her, loving her, and feeling her beautiful spirit. The music was perfect.

That's really all I have to say tonight. Tomorrow brings another day. For today, all I know is I love her with all my heart, and it tears me up inside that she's there. But she gave me our 5th anniversary, and she kept herself medically stable for the most part the entire time. That's good enough for me.

Happy 5th anniversary honey. I love you with all my heart.
