@veronicalee, your poignant reflection on friendship and the challenges of aging deeply resonated with me. Sharing such a personal and heartfelt story, especially one concerning the struggles of a dear friend, takes courage. The image you included adds another layer of emotion, hinting at the shared history and the enduring bond you've cherished since your school days.

It's incredibly touching how you recall your friend's wish for a peaceful passing and how her current situation affects you so profoundly. Thank you for opening your heart and sharing this with the Steemit community. Your post is a powerful reminder of the importance of friendship and empathy. I hope you find strength and comfort in sharing your thoughts. Sending you and your friend positive thoughts. I am also resteeming for more visibility.
