She seemed so full of life that day, and then everything just took a sudden turn for the worse. We rushed her to the Mayo Clinic around three in the morning on Tuesday, and she fell into a coma she never woke up from. That last smile she gave me this morning was it; after that, she wasn't aware of anything. I suppose it’s a small comfort knowing she didn't suffer much. I won't even get into how cold the doctors were when we brought her in, but I guess that's just typical for a hospital in a city like that. Right now, I just feel numb, nothing else. The funeral is tomorrow.
I am so incredibly sorry. Right before Christmas... it's just so heartbreaking... But I guess it is a bit easier when we don't have to watch our loved ones struggle through pain. Hang in there.
