Jim was waiting in the room where she would be staying for a while when the nurse came in pushing her on the gurney. He stood up and watched his wife come in, followed by the, seemingly, overly happy nurse. When he saw his wife had fallen asleep once again he smiled and sat down, taking her hand softly and rubbing his thumb across the back of her hand.<br/><br/>"Do you need anything else," the nurse asked in a rather loud whisper.<br/><br/>Jim looked at her and smiled. "A glass of water would be nice but if you could have another nurse send it, please," he said quietly. "Not that there's anything against you I just know how she is when she wakes up sometimes. She gets a little cranky and I don't want you to take offense..."<br/><br/>The nurse nodded and smiled, assuring him that she would do as he asked and get him a glass of water before she left. After she had disappeared out the door, he turned his attention back to his wife and smiled. "Beth," he said softly. "If you can hear me... I just wanted to say that... I love you. And I'm glad you made it through this... In truth, I have no idea what I would do with out you. I love you so much!"
