My Wife Jill Almost Died

You never realize how much you love 
Someone until you are next to them 
In their possible death bed unconscious;
I will never forget the terrible experience.

We shudder each time we drive by the hospital,
And thank God that my sweetheart is still alive;
Love does spring eternal and perpetual for sure,
When you are afraid you are about to lose it.

Jim Horn

Her pneumonia had ended up turning 
into congestive heart failure.
