I just hung up the phone and I can’t help but wonder if I said the right things. One one my very good friends has been staying with us this week as her dad is dying from cancer and she wanted to be close to the hospice where he has been relocated.

And this afternoon, she called me and told me she thought today was the day. The nurse called her when she was on the bus, on her way to the hospice, telling her to hurry…. And when she got to there, he was asleep and they’re not sure if he’s going to wake up. She wanted to say goodbye. She wanted him to know that she was there.

So I’m hoping with all my heart that he will open his eyes and that it will provide her the peace she needs to deal with this tragedy.

There’s nothing that I can say that will make her feel better. I guess I did the best I could. Told her I love her, that she can count on me, that I’m thinking about her and sending her strenght… but that must sound futile. Maybe I’m wrong and it helps… I hope it does…
