The priest will be there tomorrow.
They moved her to a room all by herself. Dad is allowed to be there as much as he wants. (and we're not opposed to that as the facility and its staff has been testing completely negative for five weeks).
I thanked her for making things so beautiful for us all, and told her that I love her.
I held her hand. And said some Hail Mary's for her.
It's not likely I'll get to see her again.

May she pass gently and knowing that you love her.
