‘I never worry’, she says with conviction. Her voice so strong and sure while her body is frail and weak. She smiles her beautiful smile as we light the candles on the cake. We sit her up in her hospital bed, she takes a big breath but she doesn’t exhale. Then, slowly she releases the air from her lungs with a sigh and says ‘remember what I said, I never worry’.

Gently she falls back onto her pillow. The candles still burning on the cake. Her love light still burning in the world.
