"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday."
Sighing Micheals voice trailed off, he could not for the life of him remember the next few lines of the song. Odd really when it had been his wifes favourite song. When they were younger she had often danced around the house singing it, at the time it had driven him crazy, now he wished she would do it again.
Gently he ran his hand down the side of her sleeping face. She stirred, her eyes half opening as she whispered his name, "Micheal?" He didn't respond, not wanting to disturb her. But her eyes opened fully and she looked at him.
"Your here! Does that mean it's time?" He nodded hoping the thought did't upset her too much. But she laughed instead, sat up and threw herself into his arms. "I thought I heard you singing."
Looking back, for a long moment she stared at the body that she was leaving behind. Then she tightened her grip on him.
"I think I need a new favourite song."
