Today she was taken from home to palliative care.
This afternoon I went to hospital to see my friend and we have been friends since 89.
I just want to help her as much as I can and it makes me sad to see the changes in her and the progression of her illness.
I just hope and pray for a miracle for her and that she makes it through Christmas & new year.
