Breakfast

Sunday 22 April morning

Lara is getting gradually worse, but still very much OK mentally. Lucid but with her breathing constricted. Talking is a laborious activity to her, worse than yesterday. It is hard to understand her over the phone. She is headed where she doesn't want to be. Lara would not appreciate if I said this, but when I think back to the time we both saw her mom at Xmass 2010, in the nursing home, I see the resemblance beween mother and daughter facicng dire circumstances..

She told me she had slept "a little" and was having some breakfast as we spoke. She wanted to go over today's visitors programme with me so she would know what to look forward to. We got it all figured out, making sure we would have sufficient quality time together. This is not going to last very long from the looks of her. But then, you never know.
