Her Depression

My wife, then of 31 years, has suffered from severe depression for several years and after a very bad bout with it, she decided that she needed more help than she was getting. So, I loaded her up and took her to Oklahoma City to the ER and after much assessment from the nurses, doctors and others, they all agreed. The hopital had another hospital across town that deals strictly with depression and such.

I had her in the car, going across town, from one hospital to the other, when my wife turned to me and cried, "Please, please whatever you do, just don't leave me." I just pulled over and stopped the car and I couldn't look at her at first as I continued to look out the windshield. After a few moments, with tears swelling in my eyes, I turned to her and said, "After 31 years of marriage, I could no longer conceive what life would be like with out you standing beside me, to love me, to hold me, to guide me. I am not going anywhere." At that time, we shared a special moment.
