I wish there were magic words to relieve the pain.<BR/><BR/>I was the one who pushed my father's last bolus of morphine. He died of colon cancer 7 years ago, and I can still remember every word of our last conversation. We were in his bedroom with the rest of my family sleeping all around us. That was one of the most profound moments of my life, and one that will be only mine forever.Jaymeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05386596837111351204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3967691740264589630.post-37184308068405270272008-11-13T19:36:00.000-05:002008-11-13T19:36:00.000-05:00I think this was really beautifully written.
