Hearts don't break

But they do sometimes refuse to pulse the blood through the arteries, and when that happens it leads to yet another hospital visit. It gets harder everytime seeing a relative you care about hooked up to machines which display their pulse and breathing rhythm.. almost makes him look unhuman with that many tubes attached to his frail structure. His diet is strict and he is unable to move, every one seems externally optimstic, but I can tell they're all genuinely fretting his departure. Apparently a triple bypass is required, either that or they will insert a pace maker into his delicate cage of bones. I make sure everytime I see him I let him know how much he truly does mean to me, considering I never want to lose another soul without a goodbye.
