That afternoon, the sun slanted into the house, and my wife Wu Fang went out to talk to the neighbors, leaving me alone at home. The TV program has long since ended, and I have nothing to do, so I want to spend this leisurely time in the afternoon nap.
However, a sudden phone call shattered my peace. There were 15 missed calls flashing on the mobile phone, all of which were the numbers of her daughter-in-law Li Su. I had a sense of foreboding in my heart and hurriedly dialed back. On the other end of the phone, Li Su's voice was crying, telling me that my wife had a heart attack and was being rescued in the hospital.
I hurriedly grabbed my phone and wallet and rushed out of the house, feeling uneasy. Along the way, I prayed that my wife would survive this hurdle, and the years I had spent with her would come to mind. When I arrived at the hospital, I saw Li Su anxiously waiting outside the operating room, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.
The door to the operating room is closed, and every opening tugs at our heartstrings. Li Su and I waited anxiously in the hallway, and time seemed to be getting unusually slow. Whenever a nurse came out to convey the situation, we would nervously come forward and ask. However, every time we get the news, our hearts are twisted.
In the middle of the night, the doctor walked out of the operating room, his face full of exhaustion. He told us that his wife's condition was very critical, and due to her advanced age and large myocardial infarction, she could not support the operation. Hearing the news, Li Su and I both fell into an ice cave, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
We were allowed to enter the ward to see my wife for the last time. When I saw her lying on the hospital bed, pale and breathless, I could no longer control my emotions and called out her name. However, she only opened her eyes slightly, shook her head with difficulty, and closed them forever.
At that moment, it was as if I had lost the luster of the whole world. The death of my wife has brought me great grief and devastation, and I can't imagine how I would live without her. However, life went on, and I had to learn to face this harsh reality.
In the final moment of farewell, my wife's eyes suddenly widened, as if she wanted to say something. Li Su and I approached her closely, only to see her pointing to the paper and pen at the bedside with difficulty. I picked up the pen and paper and handed them to her, and she used her last strength to write down two words - "Wait for me". These two words are like a bolt of lightning that pierces the darkness in our hearts and makes us understand that she still has unfulfilled wishes.
The death of my wife made me deeply realize the impermanence and preciousness of life. We should cherish the time we spend with the people around us more and love and care for them with our hearts. At the same time, we must also learn to face life and death, bravely walk out of the shadow of grief, and continue to move forward on the road of life.
Today, when I think of that difficult time, my heart is still filled with endless sorrow and emotion. But I also understand that life doesn't stop because of our grief. I will keep my wife's love and care in my heart and continue to move forward to find my own happiness and joy. At the same time, I also hope that everyone who reads this article can cherish their relatives and friends around them, and feel the beauty and warmth of life with their hearts.
