her beloved child
unique
irreplaceable
each day a miracle
she shelters
advocates
her joy wrapped in loss
her life partner
unchanging
dedicated
each day a miracle
she lingers
vigilant
her love imprisoned by illness
her treasured sister
precious
prized
each day a miracle
she weeps
alone
her life changed by chance
her independent life
unconventional
melodic
each day a miracle
she fades
diminished
her essence cut by dementia
