  • Died in my arms

    Died in my arms
    I will never forget this day, it was the day that my husband mike died in my arms. We were being robbed by to goons while walking home from getting some food. We gave all of our money and did everything they wanted. They said no witnesses, but let one of us live because we had children. I offered but mike stepped in. he held my hand mouth i love you and then i heard the bullet pop next to my ear. I flinched and feel to my knees and held my dead husband in my arms. I saw his eyes lose color.
