Schmickers that was a sweet story indeed and it brought tears to my eyes, I've actually never written about Reny's dead, her last minutes in this earth.

She couldn't hear and see very well before she died, her feet, hands and elbows were swollen and her eyes where practically swollen shut, she slept 22 hours every day and the 2 hours she was awake(around 3 am) she will count silently(we really didn't knew what she was counting and when we asked her she said "I will count to whatever number I want to count", in her birthday she only woke up to say "I love you" to me, DH and her siblings, she didn't open any of her presents. and a month before she write a "will" and told me to give some of her toys to her sister, brother and her beloved bike to a little girl that will really enjoy it, she also wanted to come to Australia, we lived here with her when she was a baby, we where on vacations in our home in Stockholm when she was diagnosed and we where afraid to travel with her, even though when she was in remission and she's burried here.

And she died in a similar way like the little girl in your story, DH and I slept with her every single day since she was discharged in mid December, there was nothing that was left to do for her so we took her home to wait as her body was slowly wasting, her last night she was restless she didn't sleep, she just opened her eyes one last time and gave us a sweet smile, then she close them again and said "I'm ready" she nodded her head yes as if she where talking to someone, I was holding her when she finally said "Mommy, Daddy I'll be waiting" she them mumbled some more and finally passed in my arms.

I just want you to know that you give life by donating, the family and the patient appreciate it
