Even though it pains me to "re-live" this last phone call you ever made just hours before you passed, it is the best thing anyone could hope for when someone is suddenly ripped from them.  

Jay, You passed away unexpectedly 9 years to the date of "US" 7/28/14.  

We had said our usual goodnights and I love you at around 10:30pm.  I went to get ready for bed and came out to a text from you saying "Please call me".

I called you right after this text at 11:02pm.  This was the conversation:

Jay--"Hi baby, I love you, do you love me?"

Kelly--"Yes I love you too."

Jay--"Thats good baby, I miss you."

Kelly--"Miss you too."

Jay--"Ok, goodnight see you tomorrow love."

Kelly--"Goodnight talk to you in the morning."

In my heart, somehow I think you knew that tomorrow would never come.  This phone call  struck me as strange at the time and was unusual looking back now because we had already said goodnight and you NEVER asked me if I love you. This was the greatest thing you could have left me with knowing that I was the first thing on your mind.  At least you passed KNOWiNG I love you and you were able to tell me you love me that one last time. This is the greatest gift I could ever ask for.

Love you forever and a day!

About the Author
I lost the love of my life, Jay, unexpectedly 7/28/14. 9 years to the date of becoming "us". He was 40 years old He was my soul mate and love of my life. My world was shattered. He had struggled throughout most of his life with alcohol addiction but he was finally on the "right road" when he was ripped from me. I was always there to keep him safe and pick up the pieces but this one time, I had no control over the outcome. His addiction directly had nothing to do with his passing. He was a good, kind and caring person. He never failed to tell me every day how much he loves me and how beautiful I am (inside and out). As he said "You're my angel". well, now YOU'RE my angel. I am eternally grateful for the first day we met, our time together and now grieve for our future that will no longer be. I'll just keep this Box of Rain that you left me with. Until we meet again my love----Kelly
I'm Grieving, Now What?
