Lynette

Tonight....

As I prepare for slumber

A soul lay with only but a soul's toe

Left to hold on to her

Mortal being.....

Her body shuts down

System, by system...

Cell by cell

From a drug meant to

Heal her....

Her family cries...

Her parent's loss

She is eighteen.....

Be in peace, Lynette

Be in peace.......

.....about a patient we have in the ICU at present. As we go on day to day, moment to moment, fretting, fussing about trivial matters someone somewhere has it FAR worse...This just hurts SO much. I too have a daughter who is eighteen....

I used to work in a hospital, too. So much suffering and heartbreak, but hope still shines through... sometimes. I hope your Lynette makes a recovery, or if not, then may she be at peace wherever she may be taken by life. "Do not go gentle into that good night/ rage, rage against the dying of the light."

"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things." "I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." Lewis Carroll
