THE LAST BREATH

THE LAST BREATH


Six months ago my husband died from pneumonia. For 6 days and 6 nights he fought for every breath.
At the dawn of a new day he drew his last breath. It was a Tuesday. We were all there with him.
Someone somewhere is dying alone today.
I ask at some time each day would you take a quiet, calm breath and offer it to someone who is dying breathless without family and friends.
Your breath and your thoughts will be there with them. They will not die alone.
