As I am sitting at my desk at work, I get a call. I pick up the phone and formally say, "Hello. This is Terry." I hear sniffling and then they speak. "Hello, dad. I need you to come down to the hospital, if it is not to much trouble for you." It is James and he has been crying and...what have I done! I say, worriedly, "Why, James?" He starts crying and runs off. I hear a nurse say "Hello?" I say "Ma'am where is that boy that was just there? What is wrong?" The nurse says "He ran off sir. Um...what is your name?" I say "Terry Hulsey. Why is my son at the hospital?" The nurse replies "Your son called us this morning, sir. We took him and your wife in and your son is fine but your wife was in a coma. She died about an hour ago." I couldn't breath. I had killed Mary, the love of my life... I hang up the phone and can not hold back the tears.
