Excerpt
The Deathbed I had never called 911 before in my life. I didn’t want to do it. My wife didn’t want me to dial the number either. She didn’t want to go to the hospital, but knew that she had better. She didn’t look good, and she was in a lot of pain. “Did you take some morphine?” I asked her. “Yeah, but it’s not helping.”
