I Wait

I sit here tonight waiting to hear news about my Tia Leonor. She has been sick for many years. Last Thursday dialysis was halted. Everything I read pointed to her not living much longer than about 10 days. I talked to my brother this afternoon when he had just left the hospital. He cried like a baby as he told me how sick she looked and that she would probably not make it through the day.

(August 2012)

It's hard to grasp that in a matter of days she will no longer be with us; that we will move forward in this life without her. 

I pray that as she takes her last breath she feels the love that surrounds her, and that when God takes her hand her children are holding the other.

I'm going to miss that beautiful smile. 

I will forever miss her beautiful heart ♥
