he knew that he was close to the end. he could feel it in the way his eyes slowly slipped into complete darkness. in the way his body slowly slumped with paralyzing fatigue. in the way his breathing became slower and heavier with every breath.
but every time he felt himself ebbing away, he saw her. she wore a light green dress, her hands tightly hugging her new born girl-their new born girl. she pulled him and kept him going. one step. and then another, and another.
but slowly her face faded away, her laughter getting softer after every painful step. and he knew that he wouldn't make it. he wouldn't make it back in time for her first birthday, wouldn't be there for his baby girl.
and slowly-oh, so so slowly- he allowed himself slip away from the pains of earth and gaze upon the glorious face of God.

((spoiler alert)) I watched the movie everest and I balled my eyes out in the scene of rob's death. I'm not one to literally weep over a movie, but oh my, this movie really got me (or maybe it was the vibe that came along with watching movies at 2am heh). hope you guys are having an amazing week<3
