Thank you for posting that. It sounds a world away from "he spent all my money and left me starving." She paints an intimate portrait in a few words of what, i guess, made her really care about him.
Also the horror of losing someone to a sudden disease in hospital, without fully knowing what happened. That never leaves you, I think. You always wonder if more could have been done, if you could have done something. But I think sepsis is far more common that we realise, and very difficult to treat once it gets started. And I will always wonder if the CPR actually ruptured Rick's not-extremely-old operation site in his shoulder and started a train of events. Most people who go through CPR don't survive it for very long, IIUR. And he was already a physical patchwork.
Still, without being flippant, he made it to 68. Lots of people didn't. Not much compensation to his young kids, though.
