Today has been a very, very bad day. Sr Siza was here when Vic had a violent vomiting spell. Yesterday Vic fractured a vertebra again. Her pain is out of control. Her breathing was shallow.
“I don’t want Jon-Daniel to see me now Mommy. It freaks him out when I can’t breathe” Vic pleaded
I lay behind her back, gently holding her whilst the tears wracked through her little body.
“I don’t want to die Mommy. If only I can live for another year….. But I am so tired!” Vic softly cried
“Do you think we will be able to do Italy Mommy?” she asked after a long silence
“I hope so Baby. I think we must take the boys with us…” I replied
“Oh Mommy, can we? We don’t have to go for a long time…” Vic said
We lay quietly for a while. Vic trying to breathe through her nausea and pain and I contemplating how I am going to pull off this Italy thing… Just imagine flying with a caseload of injections and a litre of morphine syrup…
“Mommy, I don’t care what you do with my ashes… It was so hard putting my father’s ashes into that wall of remembrance! Are you going to be okay Mommy?” Vic cried
My heart stopped. This was so out of the blue… “You will always be with me. I will not put you into any wall” I said
“I will be your guardian angel.” Vic said
“I know but remember I will need some privacy… “I said
“Don’t worry Mommy! I will make sure my father doesn’t peep as well” Vic laughed through her tears
“I am scared Mommy…”
“I am scared too Vic…”
Vic's Final Journey 
I wish I knew what to say. I think that moment of humour was wonderful. Thinking of you both.

Your post takes my breath away. The love and blessings bring tears to my eyes. I want to tell you that I am so impressed by your courage and strength. I lost my husband in 1995. You are coping much better. I know the Universe will be with you every day.

what a blessing to be able to talk about your fear and hers. what a gift to you both that each can tell the other what is really in their heart. i am praying for italy, for now the dream of italy may have to suffice. just keep loving and caring about each other. if only i could reach to hold your hand i would.
