Redemption – Saying Goodbye is Hard to Do
A half hour was not enough time, not nearly enough for what he wanted to do, but he would have to deal with the time he had left. He knew he should make the call to his parents first, but then he would talk with them the entire time, and there were things he needed to do first. Since he wouldn't be with Kim when she woke up, he decided to do the next best thing; he wrote a letter.
Dear Kim,
I'm sorry I won't be there to hold you when you wake up, to hold you one last time, but something has happened, and I won't be coming back from it. I'll leave it up to everyone else to tell you, because I don't have time, we almost have to get going, and I don't even have time to say everything I want to you.
I just want you to know how much I love you, and I don't think I could have made it through this life without you! You were the only thing that meant anything to me in my life, and I just wish I could have told you this to your face when you woke up. The last few months without you have hurt so much, but just the thought that you might wake up kept me going. Just one more chance to look into your eyes, and see the love there, that was what kept me going, and now I'm never going to see that again, and that is the only regret I have in this life.
I just want you to know that I'm going to be watching you, and loving you, wherever you go, and I want you to try and be happy. I know that doesn't seem possible, but anything is possible for a Possible. Promise me, you'll try to be happy!
Just know that I will always love you!
Love, Ron
He sealed the letter in an envelope, tears streaming down his face as he did so. The nurse took it for him, the pain in her face evident as what was about to occur made the rounds. With one final look at the letter, he turned and walked away, prepared for what he must do.

Author's Notes – I hadn't planned this, but after writing that, I thought it needed to stand on its own. It only seemed right!
