when she died she would take her mothers eyes with her 

he hadnt realised that beforehadnt realised the quiet subconscious comfort his daughter  her eyes  had given him since his wife died  

             at a suddenin a panic he told her

her eyes widened she shrugged slightly she smiled her ventilator mask rose though he couldnt see her smile
                                                                                                                     then . there . . . there . . in her eyes . shone her smile

I had to tell ya baby

she blinked once  Yes.

when his daughter died another quiet possession would be stripped from him
                                                                                  his daughtertheir daughter his daughters eyeshis wifes eyes evidence that her motherhis wife existed
                                                                a brook that insisted he wasnt deludedhe hadnt dreamed his wife to utterly selfishly fulfill himself

when his daughter died his grip would be more unreliable

their lives together were too short
                                 onehundred years would have been too short

despite his helphis jumping on command to try and secure what they neededwhen they needed it most
when they needed it most

HA he wasnt a god
                        mortals cannot intercede or heal

when his daughter died he would be less   diminished  dulled

he would have to live with less

and as time past

even less
