For Nancy, June 29, 2024
American sentence for Nancy
Farewell dear friend, if only I could change your ending, sweet sorrowful.
Death feels like a broken promise, holding a beating heart in my hand.
Death feels like a letting go of all the pain, handfuls of pills tossed away.
The morphine took it all, took you from me, finally closing the shades.
Sleep under sweet dreamless waves of morphine until the moon’s high tide rises.
Goodnight, Goodnight my dear friend, this time your dreams will all be in color.

My friend passed today from ALS. ❤️
I am sorry that you have lost a dear friend.
What a beautiful blessing you have written for your friend:
Sleep under sweet dreamless waves of morphine until the moon’s high tide rises.
Goodnight, Goodnight my dear friend, this time your dreams will all be in color.
You have my condolences
Thank you.
Man that last line caught me.
Godspeed to your friend. ❤️
You have my sympathy, Alissa. (Earlier today I found myself thinking about a friend I lost way too soon.) I will hold that last line in my heart.
I’m so sorry, Alissa! ALS is such a horrible disease.
