Leslie's Angel

Goodbye, my angel
Michael died this afternoon. It was peaceful. He was here
and with us until this morning, and he just slipped away at about 4 o'clock.
We had that wonderful talk last night after watching two episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space 9. He told me he was at peace and ready to go.

It's too sad. Even when someone knows it's coming.

My friend Peter's dad passed away last year after a long battle with cancer. They knew he was dying, too, but I still can't imagine what that's like. Watching the person you love and who used to be so strong be so helpless.
