It's getting harder and harder to keep on a happy face. He is so incredibly depressed, and it's starting to get me down too. I'm not complaining or anything, I totally understand why he's so depressed, it's just getting really hard for me not to freak out myself. But one of us has to keep it together. Usually, that's him. He's always the one with the "It'll all be alright" attitude, my rock. Now the roles are reversed, and I am not used to that.

Right now, I'm just taking it one day at a time. If I look ahead, I freak out. I don't look past tomorrow. One day at a time. TODAY we have a roof over our heads. TODAY we have food on the table. TODAY there's still a couple of bucks in my wallet.

As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
