Flame Extinguisher

As he pulled the oxygen pipe out of her nostrils and watched her gasp one last time for sustenance - He released her. She died then. The nurse came to make it official. The angels came to make it religious. And the family came to make it sacrificial.

Special she was indeed... Not like others but still fallible and human... Yet different... A little bit more caring, a little bit more loving, a little bit more understanding... A light for many... A worthy nemesis... Her complexity so easily betrayed by her simplicity... Her suffering so easily betrayed by her smiling eyes and her courageous words...

I cry for her... I love her, My Aunt, My Mother, My Friend, My Sister....Peace
