A Tribute

A really sweet patient who became a good friend passed away this week. I knew her for a little over a year. She loved southern soul food, cosmetics, and playing with her grandchildren. She had a beautiful laugh that lit a room up, and on her good days, her sense of humor was impeccable. Her biggest regret in life was dying before she could see her next soon-to-be-born grandchild. I think it beautiful that her life was well-lived so that she didn't look back and worry over why she did or said unkind things. She was in a coma for two weeks before she died, and she really struggled. I am relieved her physical hardship is over. My thoughts are with her family.
