By his side we could beat anything but unrequited love during this precarious time did kill him. This song means to me my unconditional, unending love for his continued suffering without ever complaining. He was too proud to tell us, to worry us, to bother us with this. I understood why his health failed.his heart broke at the callousness of another human being when he would never ever have done that to someone. She was out with another man, got pregnant with this man's child, moved this man into the house my son used to live in. By the time my son's health started failing miserably I realized that his wife had not been with him, taking care of him. I wanted to give up my job to be with him but his wife was at first by his side. His brother wanted to give him his lung, his leg, whatever it took. He went through immunity transplant with his brother. He grew up and fell in love and had a child. So many times I was told he would not make it and I never believed in our capacity to beat the odds. He lived a good life but one complicated with rare illnesses which he would always win the battle with. My son was born with many complications including cancer at age three.
