Life is a constant change. We live and we die. What we need to pay attention to is how well we travel our roads and the many qualities we will utilize as we move on. This story will take you through some tough times about death. It will also not only make you cry but there is some laughter among the days she endured. Hopefully you too will find strength, smiles, tears and endurance as you pass through the death watch with her and her loved ones.
