“After spending almost every minute waking up with Angel for eight days, I realized that I had to tell her one thing. So very late at night, just before he fell asleep, I whispered in his ear. He smiled – the kind of smile that makes me smile again – and said, ‘When I’m seventy-five and thinking about my life and what it was like to be young, I hope I can remember that moment. ‘

A few minutes later he closed his eyes and fell asleep. The room was quiet – almost quiet. All I could hear was the gentle cleansing of his breath. I stayed awake thinking about the time we spent together and all the choices in our lives that made this moment happen. And at some point, I realized that it didn’t matter what we did or where we were going. And the future was meaningless.

All that mattered was the peace of the moment.

Just having him and breathing with him. ”
