That's weird about going out with Brian, but not knowing him. Do you know what sun-sign he is?
Well, Aunt Tessa is winding down. My uncle B. (Her husband, Brian (*LOL*), wrote to me and my family:
Dear all of you,
Tessa remains in-between this realm and whatever comes next... She is in her room, the one with all her clothes and her little desk. She has someone, one of her devoted friends, with her day and night, so I can sleep. I also sit with her often. On Sunday we had our music party, and also many of the 60 or so people in attendance had very short visits with Tessa. It was a gamble; but it seemed to work beautifully. Yesterday afternoon Tessa asked for no more visitiors, and said she just wanted a very few people to come to her room. She was very specific and clear about this, and we are honoring it. It is all so remarkable, and in its way very beautiful. Tessa is dozing a lot, she is on quite a lot of morphine, which works very well, and her life is simplified to little sips of water, and just lying in bed, with her room illumined by two little New England window candles. We moved the oxygen machine next door, so it is peaceful. She is often restless, often speaks, quite wonderful images and things who knows where they come from. This morning she suddenly broke into 'O Come All Ye Faithful' while Juna [A freind of the family's] and I were there with her, so we joined in.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas
much love from
b
