Summary
Analysis
Ron recounts Deborah’s passing. That evening, Deborah’s sister informs Ron—whose children insisted that he try to sleep for a few hours—that Deborah has stopped breathing. A nurse removes the IV lines and breathing tubes and leaves Ron alone with his wife to mourn. Ron asks God to raise her from the dead and grieves the fact that she will never meet their grandchildren.
