Book Cover & Preview Text
I thought my heart would burst on 12-13-2025 at 2:00 AM, when I discovered my Sweetheart lying on the floor just outside his bathroom. As I cradled him in my arms while I called 911, I asked him, “Chuckie, can you hear me? This is Peggy. Can you open your eyes, (barely, a little slit). Can you move, he tried and couldn’t. I told him to just lie still, that I had called 911”. He rubbed his head with his left hand but didn’t speak. Little did I know Chuck had had a massive stroke. He couldn’t speak or move his right side. I covered Chuck with a huge towel as he lay on the cold floor. He closed his eyes and never regained consciousness. I knew God was calling Chuck home and that my life would never be the same. I wanted to go with Chuck. But God told me, almost audibly, “I’m not through with you yet”. I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant but could hardly wait to find out.
