One More Day

My favorite gal!
I awoke yesterday at my normal 3:30 AM time to get ready for work. I always rise quietly so I won't disturb my wife of 18 years. It was just another day, and now my life will never be the same.
After getting ready and cleaning up I put on my coat and quietly entered the bedroom to gently wake my love and best friend with the usual, "Hey their sleepy head I Love you". There was no response and I thought she was playing with me.
When I spoke louder and shook her, I noticed how cold she was. I immediately turned on the light and that is when the realization struck! My 52 year old wife was not breathing and blue..........
Firemen showed up and stayed with me until the police came at least an hour and half later and then the police chaplin followed by some funeral home people (we hadn't made any previous plans.
Three hours after my discovery and allowing her son time to arrive to say goodbye, my Rock and greatest confidant was taken from our bed. She died, like most of us would like to admit, quietly in her sleep.
This is 26 hours later and I am lost and so alone. It wasn't supposed to be this way. Dee was 8 years younger than me and we were starting to plan our retirement in 2 years. How do people get through this?
Like most that lose a LOVED ONE I would give anything (except my Soul) for One More Day to hold and cherish what I took for granted. To have the unconditional love of a spouse is not always the case but my Dee loved me unconditionally. I just want to tell her one more time how much I love her and that she made me feel whole.
Just One More Day!
