You know, that is exactly how I feel, that he will tell me & I will know... by his eyes. I can see so much sparkle & soul in his eyes right now I know it is not time yet.
I have a strong feeling this is how it will happen but there is that fear (and its a big fear) that something may happen and I won't know, or won't have the chance to say good-bye or the pain will get so bad that his eyes still show love yet his body just can't take it or... well the list goes on & on.

I thank you for sharing your story with me, it really has helped.
