11.9.12


The laboured gasping is now echoing in another voice as I end the life of this elderly cancer patient’s last and only companion. She sobs and sobs, cradlng his lifeless body, crying with unending heartbroken sorrow, and she wails to no one, why, please why can’t she go with him too, please. All I can do is clutch her hand tight as her tears soak into my shirt.
