I rested my hand on hers. Actually, when I wasn’t paying attention, it was in hers. I don’t know if it helped. I don’t know if it made any difference at all, if she had even the vaguest sense that I was there, that I was thinking about her and hurting for her and praying for her. All I could do was try. All I could do was be here. All I could give her was my love, even if she never knew.

Sometimes, I think... people we put on pedestals... they've got that much further to fall when you realize they're human.

It wasn’t. Ray was too alive, too vital, too much of everything. Everything about him was real, solid. He couldn’t be these things the doctor described. Not breathing on his own. No brain activity. Not Ray. “I don’t have home without him”, Carrie said when doctor asked her to go home. “I won’t give up on him. Do you hear me, Doctor? Don’t you give up on him!

Small moment, missed opportunities, things we don't see or pay attention to at the time sometimes have a far bigger impact on our lives than we would have ever guessed in advance.

I love you, Carrie," he whispered between shuddering breaths. "Forever," I whispered.

Ray... I don't know if you can hear me. I don't know if you're in there. But you need to know... that I love you. I love you, and I want you home with me. Please come back, Ray. Please wake up.
