Her Time
She had been concerned about her mother’s well-being, Anna Du Bois. Her health had been slowly declining for years, even before she moved to the retirement home. Anna had been in her late 90’s when she decided to share a secret with Joanna.
But Anna refused to see the doctor. She had explained to her daughter that she was ready if it should be her time and would do more harm to fight this thing. Anna preferred it this way.
