It had been a traumatic day for them both, but more so for him.
During a lucid moment, they’d giggled about their trip to Arizona and the lizard who found his way into their SUV.
He always could make her laugh at their darkest moments.
A nurse appeared in the doorway.
“Ma’am, I’m sorry, but it’s time.”
She took his left hand into both of hers and kissed the wedding band she’d placed on his finger nineteen years ago, then turned and left the room without looking back.

Serpentine Fire
by Earth, Wind & Fire
Songwriters: Reginald Sonny Burke, Verdine White & Maurice White
When I see your face
Like a mornin’ sun
You spark me to shine
Tell all the world
My need is fulfilled
And that’s a new design
As long as you’re near
There is no fear
Of a victory
All right
But when I’m away
Influences stray
My mind to disagree
I wanna see your face
In a morning sun
Ignite my energy, ow
The cause and effect of you
Has brought new meaning
In my life to me
Gonna tell the story o’
Morning glory
All about the serpentine fire
Gonna tell the story o’
Morning glory
All about the serpentine fire
