I heard him. I heard the pain in his voice. Through all the beeping and ringing I heard him crying, begging for me to wake up. But I couldn't respond. I could only lie there, feeling my light diminish with every second that passed. There was truly nothing I wanted more than to squeeze his hand and let him know that everything was going to be okay- but I couldn't. He made the right decision. I know it will bring me pain, but it will only last for a moment. But Eddie's pain... I don't know how long that will last. He was hurting, more than me and I couldn't do anything to stop it.

The doctor told him about the baby before I could and I think that's what hurts the most. Not the broken bones or the multiple brain hemorrhages, but the fact that he had to have a complete stranger tell him about our unborn child rather than his own wife. He always wanted a little girl. He told me he would name her Iris.
