The story of the heart

One night, a couple was fighting, their voices echoing through the room. In a moment of anger, the boy shouted, "I HATE YOU!". The girl stopped, her face pale, and suddenly fainted.Terrified, the boy carried her to the hospital. Their fight had been about her constant late arrivals home, which had filled him with suspicion. At the hospital, the doctors delivered the devastating truth: "Your wife has a heart condition and only a week to live, we couldn’t find a donor... we’re so sorry. .When they returned home, the husband devoted himself to caring for her. Each moment was filled with tenderness and love. A week passed, and the girl woke up, searching for her husband. The doctor said softly, "He gave you his heart... and this letter."With trembling hands, she opened the letter, tears streaming down her face. "I know I wasn’t the best husband, but I wanted you to remember me as your loving one. Please, take care of my heart as you always did." You may ask, "But why did he do this?" ... Well, he died for her because he loved her, and she will live for him because she still loves him...

Thank you for joining my contest. It isn't easy writing about Angels. You all took it to a new level of consciousness for me. Each entry dove me closer to the thought that Angels exist. You are all winners in my book, grateful for all your efforts. May God bless your beautiful hearts, each and every one of you Love, Mystic
