A favorite patient, a friend, someone I have been visiting with since November, is now in the By-Your-Side program.  She is actively dying.  I drove to her directly after work, meeting three of her nieces, finding a scapular wrapped lovingly around her neck.  Last Rites have been conducted.  In prayer, I stayed until one in the morning.  She is the first patient I kissed upon the forehead, holding her hand for a lengthy period of time.  I receive immensely from her.  God is good and all giving.  I will spend the morning and afternoon with her, attending Mass at the elderly care facility tended to by the Sisters of the Holy Spirit.  Time is short today with respect to duty and the loving reception of God’s love.
