there are very few who want to go into that good night.
there are fewer who can and will go peacefully. those are the braver few. and my hat is off to everyone of them.
sometimes, there are things people did not do or say when given the chance. and now, they know what is coming, so they want to fight to wrap up loose ends. maybe that is why her body is fighting so hard.
my grandfather held until the last possible moment. my aunt too. they all seemed to be waiting to say something, one last word. the best thing i can suggest you do, is if there is any peace you need to make with her (or know of any she needs to make with others), speak to her as if she was herself again. they can hear you. they are listening.
