I remember that moment when all that kept Relly tethered to the world of the living was a slender, fragile thread. His blood pressure was down to 7/2, his skin was gray as concrete and his breathing was so shallow I feared to blink lest he die while my eyes were closed. All I could utter while holding his left hand in both of mine was an agonized whisper, the words torn from the depths of me: "You can let go now. I will not hold you to your promise to live for me if it is too hard. I will not force you to go through any more pain." David and Claudine were there with me and, with me, they saw Relly shake his head and watched his hand grip my fear-cold fingers. He opened his eyes and I saw the fire of his promise to me burning like a beacon. Then his BP stabilized to 70/40 and continued to improve. He gave me the rarest of gifts: He chose to live for me. I can do no less than live for him.
