Making Peace

My sister in law, Faye recently passed away after a long bout with breast cancer.
Faye fought a good fight and fought it to the end. She died courageously.
I admire that.
No one likes to think about dying, but we all know it's coming.
I learned a good lesson from Faye. Make your peace while you are living.
Faye and I didn't start off well, but over the years we made peace.
I sat with her one afternoon towards the end.
She was still alive in her spirit, aware and in her right mind. This despite the cancer eating at her body immensely.
I don't know how I will have to face death.
But if I have to fight it, I hope to do as well as Faye.
May her soul rest in peace.
