Tiny Hands (poem) by William Bonilla on AuthorsDen

A beautiful heart touching story. I had to watch as life support was taken off a beautiful young lady that I loved. She was my niece and so very young, only 33 that cancer took from us. I know the feeling of helplessness and never ending tears.

This is very beautiful, William. The scene, the emotions felt, those last minutes are so touching. These are the scenes of parting that we never forget. God bless you and comfort you and your family who will miss your beloved one.

Sincerely,
Connie

Wonderful poem William. Very touching true story which I can relate. My first wife died 37 years young. She told me in her last few hours that she wanted to go home. I fought it at first but them I told her it was OK if she wanted to go but just know how much I love her and will miss her. She said very clearly "now I know that you love me" and she smiled for the first time in weeks. That was her last words. Well I can't share this with everyone but I thought that you might understand. Thank you for sharing. John Michael

William,

A very moving poem that touched me deeply. That final act was an act of love to give peace to her. Its always the hardest on the ones left behind but she is happy and whole once again.

Love and blessings,
Linda

Your story needed to be told and you have, eloquently. Some others seem not to have noticed that the child was 58. And that the child had probably suffered a very long time. That made this story all the more poignant.

Having been a Respiratory Therapist I have been many times in the situation of removing the ventilator from a patient. Whether it was a terminal illness or accident, it always tore at my heat. Children were always the saddest and not only the family cried, but the professional staff as well, but we would go somewhere else to do it. I must tell you though that I always made the attending physician push the power button on the ventilator, I just couldn't do it.

poignant read, losing a child is the most troubling for a parent at any point in the child's life

I have lost parents, sibling, husband, nephew, friends, but NOTHING compares to losing the babies I did not get to raise
