- NeNe Leakes is getting very personal in her latest interview with PEOPLE, where she discusses her late husband Gregg.
- She said, "We had two weeks leading into this transition so we ade a lot of peace with what was happening. We talked a lot. I told him how much I loved him. We said so much stuff to each other. We’ve had so many highs, so many lows, and everything in between. I said, 'I wouldn’t have chose another husband other than you. I married you twice crazy man!'"
- NeNe continued, "I happened to go in the room with the caretaker, otherwise it would have been her only in there. I went in there and he took a big breath kind of like with his shoulders and then he stopped. And then I was kind of talking to her and he took another breath and she said to me, 'You know, I don’t think Gregg is breathing.' I said, 'Yes he is. He is breathing.' Then I looked at him and he took another breath. I said, 'Ok, you see? He is breathing.' And then I went back over to him and I said, 'Gregg, you ok?' His hands were really kind of straight. I held his hand a little bit. He took one more breath and then he didn’t move again."
- NeNe did express missing him everyday and wishing to hear his voice again.
- She said, "I always have Gregg to call and ask for help or to help me make some sort of decision. 'Who am I going to call now? What would Gregg do?' Then I usually break down. I cry. So I have a lot of highs and lows and I miss him every day. Every day I go home, I want Gregg to come back. I keep thinking to myself, 'He’s away on a trip, on a business trip, he’ll be right back.' He hasn’t got back yet. I’m still waiting for him to come home."
- NeNe also shared that Gregg said he would not leave her life. She said, "He said he wanted me to move on with my life."
