In ICU - Bess, my friend

is in ICU," Howard told me, "We almost lost her."

My heart sank. Bess wasn't going to get her wish to die at home surrounded by her family. I hoped that nobody would try to keep her alive artificially. I know that we all wanted to keep her alive, but would it be fair to keep her alive with machines? I don't think she wanted that at all.

had not called, and I didn't try to see her. She declined visitors except a few people. I think she wanted us to remember her as she was before the cancer ravaged her body.

I was so grateful for her April visit.

"Jehovah is near to those
that are broken in heart;
And those who are crushed in spirit
he saves."

From Psalm 34:18 The New World Translation
