"You won't leave Lola like I'm leaving her will you?" Nasha asks weakly
"I wouldn't even dream of it" I reply feebly trying to keep my voice from breaking
"promise me you'll be there for her first walk, hold her in her first heart break and walk her down the aisle and hold our grandchildren?" She commands pausing in between to catch her breath
"I promise" I state cradling a sleeping Lola in my arms
"When you do come and join me, promise me you'll come find me," Nasha attempts to smile
I don't answer immediately
I place Lola in the incubator by Nasha's bed
I sit on the bed next to Nasha and place her face in both my hands
It gets harder each day to keep my emotions from crumbling
Gazing into those brown dying eyes, I state firmly, with conviction, with love and affection
"Always."
