she tucked the stray strands of white hair
behind the ear
of the dying woman whose name she didn’t yet know
Holding her hand
silently praying
for her breath
to ease
and three labored breaths later
the prayer answered
when it ceased

When I saw this show up in my mail, I said, “yay! Heidi wrote a longer piece!”
It has that lingering question and suspense. Lovely.
Thank you! I was getting frustrated it wouldn’t fit in the twitter box, forgetting entirely I have the blog.
Lol. I understand.
That was absolutely beautiful, just stunning
Thank you so much! ♥
OH! I know you from Twitter! I am so glad you found my blog so I could find yours. Your writing is absolutely breathtaking.
Thank you so much Amy! I am humbled greatly. I look forward to reading your blog after reading you on twitter, I laughed so hard at your posts. Ellie was right on with her #FF
