On the Verge of Death…
Babs woke up the next morning to the sound of Buster in pain. She gave him some pills. She then called 9-1-1 and Buster went to the hospital in an ambulance with Babs with him. In the hospital, the doctor pulled Babs aside and said, "Are you a friend of Buster Bunny?" Babs said, "I'm his wife." "Okay. It doesn't look good for him. The cancer has run its course. Your husband doesn't have much longer. He may not live through the night. If there is anything want to say to him, I suggest you say it now. You may not get another chance." Babs went into Buster's room. Buster was very weak but awake. Buster spoke in a weak whisper, "Are the stars out yet?" Babs answered with tears in her eyes, standing over Buster, touching his face, in a quiet whisper, "Yeah, the stars are out." "Make a wish, Babsey." Babs closed her eyes and made her wish. I wish Buster would live, she thought. "Did you make your wish?" "Yes." "Babs, I wished I could have more time with you. That's why the doctor was stunned. I wished to live a little longer." Babs then had tears roll down her face and kissed Buster. "I love you, Buster. I always loved you." Buster smiled and looked at her, "I love you too. I want you to promise me something." "Sure." "Promise me you will live your life. Live your life the best you can. Promise me you will start a family and thank God everyday for that gift. I want you to follow your heart. Don't close your heart. I will always be with you." Buster shut his eyes and went into a comatose state. At this time, the gang came in. they look at the comatose Buster and sob. Two hours later, the doctor made everyone leave accept for Babs who stayed in the chair next to Buster. In the silence of the night, as Babs lay half awake and half
asleep, She heard some moaning. Buster's eyes were open and he was moaning. Babs watched Buster. Buster then began to gasp for breath. Babs watched as her best friend lay dying and can't do anything about it. As Buster took one last breath, he said these words, "Nothing is ever as bad as it seems." Buster closed his eyes and went to God.
