"Sitting under the Stars"

Once upon a time there was a man who decided to go for a walk in the woods. He wanted to clear his head because his life was troubled and he was dealing with alot of pain. His wife of many years was just killed in a automobile accident and he struggled with that loss. He had two grown children and he tried to reach out to them and talk to them about what he has been going through. But they did not have time for him. As he walked he thought of many things. He thought of all the years he shared with his wife and all the special times they had together. He thought of his children and all the special memories he had of them. As he walked he didn't even realize how far he was away from home and he was not even sure where he was. The sun was starting to go down and he was walking on a narrow path that was at the top of a steep hillside. All of a sudden he tripped over some loose rocks and began rolling down the steep hill side. As he rolled he felt his arm snap and was in tremendous pain his fall was stopped when his leg became wedged between two gigantic boulders on the steep hill side. He tried to free his leg from between the rocks but he couldn't his arm was broken and he felt the bone pushing through the skin. He passed out for several hours and when he awoke it was dark and the sky was full of stars. As he lay there in tremendous pain he stared at all the stars in the sky and he remembered how his wife loved the stars and sky on a clear night. He remembered holding her and watching the stars together. He began to cry because he knew he would never see her again and he missed her so badly. Just then an angel appeared before him and said fear not the stars are here with you and they will protect you from the darkness. Then the angel disappeared. And then the man fell asleep once more. He was awaken by the sound of thunder and the rain began to pour down on him he could not free his leg from between the rocks as hard as he tried he could not do it. He began to cry once more because he realized that the only chance he had of getting free was to cut off his own leg just below the knee. All of a sudden the rain stopped and he seen a beautiful rainbow in the sky and once more the angel appeared before him. She said fear not God will guide your hand. He looked at the angel and said what's the use I have nothing left to live for. The angel spoke once more and said it is not your time God needs you here on earth. Then the angel disappeared once more. The man fell asleep once more and when he awoke again he realized it has been several days and it was time for him to make a decision. Either lay there and die or take the knife he carried with him from his pocket and cut off his leg.
He began to think of the most happiest time of his life and that was the day he met his wife. As he began to cut through hid flesh he thought of the first time he kissed her. As he felt the knife starting to hit the bone he thought about the first time he made love to her. All of a sudden he looked down and he was free from the rocks but the pain was unbearable. He ripped a piece of his pants and tied it around his stub to stop the bleeding. He hopped on one leg to the top of the hill and made it another mile or so and he seen a road. And he also seen a car broke down on that road. And he seen a young mother holding her child. He also seen a truck speeding around the bend towards the young mother and her child he jumped onto the roadway and pushed her out of the way just in time but he could not save himself the truck hit him and threw him several feet into a ditch as he felt his last breath of life leaving his body the angel came to him once more. She said now your time on earth is done take my hand I will lead you home. Your wife is waiting for you and you have a date with her sitting under the night time sky and watching the stars.
