The End of this Chapter

Mark passed away three days ago.

His final decline advanced much more quickly than we had anticipated. His fervent desire was to die at home, and we accomplished that, with the help of hospice.

In the end, it was just the two of us. I held his hand as the intervals between his breaths became longer and longer, and then there was no more breath.
