It's not often I'm reduced to tears from reading a short story but this one has me in pieces. I don't have any words - none that could adequately convey how I feel about so many aspects of this story. Most notably, YOU. Your incredible kindness, your genuine love and compassion for a woman you didn't know. I pray I don't end up like she did, but wherever I am in those final days and moments, I pray there's someone like you to ease my exit from this life and to care enough to just be there.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I can see why it cost you such a lot to write it 💜
