connie died last night.
she used to be a permanent fixture on the ward; she had dementia and walked around the ward, asking us to let her go home. everybody knew connie, and everybody was terribly fond of her. we would always take her gently by the hand and offer her some biscuits and tea. the nurses would get her to help out with small things like serving tea to other patients.
i often thought about how we would miss connie when she finally went home...
but she passed away
suddenly and unexpectedly.
it was a sad day, but perhaps what was sadder was that i was not as affected as i thought i would be.
...
rip connie. i hope you're in a better place now. :)
