It’s been several weeks since I have written about my friend who is dying. I don’t think she will be in this world much longer but then again she has lived months past the time the doctor gave her. It is so hard to visit her now. She still talks some but none of the words make any sense. She is confused now and sleeps more. I think she knows who I am still. When I went over today she was asleep and when I started to talk to her son she came out and sat by me. I just try to talk about what is going on in my life and about the things going on around her and I ask questions that can be answered with a yes or no. We keep her in bright colored flowers. I have no idea if my visits make a difference. I usually leave in tears. I think that this may be the last time I see her and then I hope that it is the last time.  I know it is not up to us and it is God’s will. I pray that God free Miriam and her family from this test. If you are so inclined, I hope that you too will keep my friend in your prayers.
