...for a moment to be alone. I sat with my father for ten days. He passed while I was away for a few minutes. I've heard that happens quite often. It's a strange thing, I've thought many times, how we will just sit with somebody until they die. Helpless to do anything, we sit with our own thoughts. It is a good time for reflection. It's more for the living than the dead. We can go on knowing we didn't leave a loved one to die alone, and it makes us feel better. I am sending good thoughts to your friend. --D.
