I'm worried about you,
you went to the hospital
to see why the
left side of your face
feels numb.

We both figured
you might have
suffered a stroke in your sleep.

I'm worried that you won't
be able to see the
kids grow up.

They love you
with all their
heart and soul.

I'm worried about
what the kids are going to think
if....
we tell them.

You're too young

to go through this.

I'm worried you won't
be here for us,
what am I supposed to do?

I am falling
apart inside.

I just don't know
what to do....
I'm worried.
