Die.
The two of them have been very close, and
She wants so much to be there when
The time comes.
Hospice just can't predict how long it
Will be.
I know how my neighbor feels.
I was grateful God allowed me to be
With Jack.
She just called and asked whether
I could feed her cat so she won't
Need to come home.
I'm happy to do it, and so glad she
Asked.
And I'm praying that my friend's wish will
Be granted, that she will be able to
Share that sacred moment with
Her mom when she slips home.
I wish I could do more for her during
Her time of anguish.
But at least I can relieve her mind just
A tiny bit.
At least I can feed her cat.
