All my love to you. I've sat both my parents' deathbeds and it's the most terrible and beautiful thing we can go through. Very hard to describe what it's like to those who haven't done it. A long, long vigil. A sacred watchfulness.

That. Exactly that. I honestly felt honored to do it, though it was also so hard. But as I watched her take her last breaths, I really understood why we say that someone is "at peace." Much love to you, too.
