Warning character death
Burt's point of view
I am laying here in a hospital bed just waiting, waiting to die. My body is too tired to carry on any more. It's slowly shutting down fast.
Several months ago I heard the words that everyone dreads to hear, 'you have cancer. 'At hearing those words I felt my heart drop.
"What me no it has to be a mistake, I can't have that. My wife needs me, I feel alone, lost, hopeless."
I start to come to terms with the fact 'I am going to die, I don't know when but I feel like it will be one day I start to make plans so my wife won't have to worried about anything.
Christmas has come and gone, it's now spring, I should be happy but I'm not. I don't know how much longer I can hang on. I feel the pain inside of me. I drift in and out of sleep, I worry about her, and I see the sadness in her eyes though she tries to hide it. The waiting is the hardest for her she tries to comfort me but all I can do, is lay here in this bed still waiting, as the pain meds start to wear off. When they do, the nurse comes in to give me more.
Ah, the pain is easing up. She holds my hand tells me that Kurt and Blaine are thinking of us and want to visit. There's just one thing, I don't want them to see me like this. I feel bad for them; they have not seen me in a while. They had just got on a plane from New York; they will be here later tonight.
My body feels broken, I want to leave it but I try to hang on a little longer. The nurse comes in telling Carole to go get a bite to eat and that she would stay with me. Carol leaves to get food and a coffee. About an hour later she came back, the nurse left. It's getting dark out, she is ever watchful. I need release. I tell her I am scared, she takes my hand in hers and she reads the 23rd psalm to me, I start to feel a peace, calm. I start to close my eyes, I open them again, I have a hard time to keep them open, and I hope that Kurt and Blaine get here soon to be here for her when I leave. I can't hold on any longer.
I close my eyes, I am slowing drifting, I feel weightless, I breath my last human breathe. I start to leave my broken body, as I rise from my body I see my wife, with tears in her eyes, Kurt and Blaine walk in to the room ,see that she has tears they hug her. I say my silent goodbyes, I will miss them very much but I know that someday I will see them. But I will miss; Carole the most is was the love of my life, my soul mate, I finally feel no pain, I am finally at peace.
I will now watch over my family and friends from a place of peace and love.
