Rest in Peace

Not fair.


Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, age 49.


Radiation.


Chemotherapy.


Remission.


Not fair.


Early onset Alzheimers, age 55.


Robbing you of life.


Robbing you of a future.


Robbing us of you.


Not fair.


We cannot care for you.


You cannot live alone.


No place to put you.


They say you are too young.


Disabled is disabled.


No matter your age.


Not fair.


Finally a savior.


A nice place to live.


The people are wonderful.


Then you fall.


Your back is broken.


Not fair.


Hospitization.


Nursing home.


You are so young.


Not fair.


Not eating.


Not drinking.


Breathing labored.


Fighting.


Not fair.


Unable to talk.


Unable to move.


You are so tired.


Not fair.


Your heart fails.


You are gone.


Rest in peace.


Not fair.
