Their friends and family were seated when his bride called to say she was running late.
“However long it takes,” he said,“don’t worry…I will wait.”
Every time they went out for the evening she was often running late
he would stand by patiently and always said, “Don’t worry…I will wait.”
When her walk began to slow down…when she had trouble with her gait….
he would pause a little bit ahead of her saying, “Don’t worry…I will wait.”
When she was sick and in the hospital…he could see she was losing weight…
she would tell him to go home he needs his rest…visiting hours end at eight.
He would lay his head gently against hers and whisper, “There will be no debate,
I‘ll never leave your side…I will sit right here…and wait.”
And when she knew she was near the end…once she recognized her fate…
she took his hand, looked up at him and said, “You know our life’s been great…
now it’s time to say goodbye…time to pass through heaven’s gate…”
“but know this…”
“however long it takes you to get there”…she smiled…
“Don’t worry…I will wait.”
