Popular Post heppnerguy Posted September 21, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I heard from my wife when she called from the airport in Tri-Cities, Washington, that she was in the airport waiting for her boarding time to arrive. I was so excited as her nine days away seemed like at least a month. I received another call at about the time the flight should be in the air that it had been delayed but it finally started loading about 35 minutes late. As it turned out, I was really glad that my wife, Sharon, happen to have chosen this time to fly back and visit our girls once more because while she was there, her brother in the Portland area had a coronary arrest and was taken to the hospital and put into ICU. His heart had stopped for about 15 minutes, was the report I heard but efforts to revive him with CPR finally brought his heart back into motion. He was put on life support but never came out of his coma. He died a couple of days ago. Sharon was able to be there by his side several days only because she had decided to return to Oregon for another visit. So yesterday as I was awaiting her return, which was scheduled for approximately midnight, I took advantage of the time I had and instead or 'welcome home' balloons I was going to get her, I made this cross and bought her a dozen roses. I expected the cross to take me about 3 hours to cut but instead it took me 5 1/2 hours to cut . But I got it all cut, painted, glued and finished before it was time to go pick her up. As I went out the door, I picked up one of the roses and a bottle of cold water for her when she got off the plane. I also stopped and bought her a sandwich to eat, as I knew she would be thirsty and hungry when she got back to Arizona. So happy that I have such a wonderful Wife to love and have love me.

Roly Well, really don't want Dick to take care of Patti, that is my wife. I just didn't want her to know how thoughtful Dick is to his wife... I'm afraid Dick is a much better husband than me.

I don't always have my head on straight and I know we should do more together then we do. That is something I really thought about when Sharon was away this time and we already had a talk about improving in that area.

She is doing quite well. She was so happy to be with him at the hospital even though he was in a coma. She was able to have priest come and give him the last rights, according to our belief and to pray for him and talk with him, even while in his coma. All that helped her a lot to accept the situation he was in. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey no problem. I probably have done the same thing. Paul and I were just kidding with you. Please know there is no need for an apology for it.
