...it's just a little bit stronger than real life.
Vigil
mood: tired
We are now on a vigil at Mom's bedside. Apparently, she is stronger than expected because she has outlasted all of our predictions.
She is on subcutaneous morphine now so she is unconscious. We listen for the breathing, which is erratic. At least the 3 of us keep each other company.
I know I must sound like a broken record, but my thoughts are with you, your mom, and your family. I hope your mom has a very peaceful passing. May the three of you find strength and comfort during your vigil.
Email me; tell me how the job's going and how your courses are going. You must be pretty much done now.
