remembering a patient

The patient that I have been writing about for the past couple of months ended up passing away 2 weeks ago.  I will never forget this special girl who hung in there longer than anyone thought she possibly could.
I attended her memorial service. It was good to have the chance to see her mom and sister again and give them big hugs, as she died in the night and then next day when I came to work they were all gone.
There were so many flowers that they took apart some of the big arrangements even before people left and were giving out little bouquets to people as they left.  It's nice to have something around still to remind me of her.
