The moment before I lost consciousness, I took one last look at my wife.
After staying in front of the hospital bed for many days, there were a few more white hairs on her forehead, and her tired face looked much older than a month ago.
Then I was transported by white light to a void of clouds. Several white butterflies flew past me, dancing rhythmically as the clouds were blown away by the wind.
I heard an ethereal voice. He asked me what I wanted in the next life.
He said that I had done good deeds throughout my life and could satisfy one of my requirements.
My wife's sad face and every detail of our years of companionship flashed before my eyes.
A butterfly landed on my left shoulder, and I remember she had leaned against it on that pattering rainy day. I closed my eyes and remembered that she was like this too. She always liked to close her eyes when thinking.
I opened my lips and suppressed the reluctance in my heart.
"I hope my Huanhuan can marry the person she likes in her next life."
A few tears fell from the corners of my eyes.
My eyes were slightly red, and my chest was so tight that I couldn't breathe.
"I want her to be happy, from the bottom of my heart. We have known each other for decades, but I have always understood that she is not in love with me. When I see her frowning and sad eyes, my heart really hurts. If there is an afterlife, I want her loved ones to love her too, and we can grow old together in peace and harmony."
"Don't leave me another chance. This life is already a gift."
Intention: long-lasting love
