want to go too, you can. for the first time, in the afternoon, he kind of opened up his eyes, and he looked very intently over where mom was. and then he closed his eyes back down and he just laid back down. and about five or 10 minutes after that." the clock said 5-30 when henry went to heaven. twenty minutes after his beloved wife.
