One of my favorite singers, Kate Rusby, had a brand new album (Philosophers, Poets and Kings) released three weeks ago, and it has a song on it “Until Morning,” that EXACTLY captures the feeling of my last night with Rob. It’s gorgeous, peaceful and healing.
We gathered in his hospital room that last night, the girls and I and all the family from around the country and a few treasured friends. We told stories and gave him his last tastes: ice cream and sips of his beloved Coca Cola. Then the others left him with me and the girls, and we kept our watch through the night. He opened his eyes and saw us again at 9:11 the next morning and died at 9:15.
