I WISH:
I wish: I could do everything in my capacity to protect you. I could give you another chance at life. I could help you breathe when you gasp for air. I could promise your family that you'll be with them in a few days. I could help you see the life you've wanted to see in the little time you've left. I could give you assurance that you'll see a better day. I could hold your hands and tell you - Hey, this is nothing. You are brave. You are strong. Your family needs you. Your loved ones are waiting for you. You'll be perfectly fine. Smile for me. I could tell you this will hurt less. I could tell you what an amazing person you are for braving through this. I could tell your kids that you'll come home soon. I could tell your mom and dad - there's nothing to worry about, you're recovering really well. I could look into your spouse's eyes and not lie about your well being. I could assure your friends you'll join them for the next party. I
