I'll take care of you.

Cherrie and I sat with mom all day.  She is in and out of dreams.  At one point, she thought I was my cousin Gina.  Another time, she told me she needed a turtle hook.  She got kind of upset and said, I need my wife!  Wanted Cherrie, and maybe didn't know it was me,  Her breathing is calmer now with more moraphine.  Cherrie and I sat on both sides of her and told her was ok to let go, and that we would take care of her.  She said, " I will take care of you"  Just like she always has...she smiled and stared at me for a long time.  All I do is cry, she told me the dog was making my nose run again.  At least, she doesn't realize that I'm sad.
