I'm afraid to be alone at the end.

 I'm afraid to be alone, Mary Ellen.  I'm afraid to be alone at the end.  His eyes closed again.

I loved your mother so much but God knows the life I gave her was so hard.  I tried to give her a good life.  He slept again for another while.

Life was hard.  What if she won't want to be with me at the end?  God help me.
