Last days

Nancy is my sister's mother-law. She lived in Texas until a few years ago when she came to live with my sister and her husband. Nancy loves mystery books, "The bloodier, the better!" she'd tell me. She went to the Humane Society and adopted a cat. She hoped for a lap cat, but chose an independent wild cat, who comes in to eat and then is gone. She visited with us at my parents' house on holidays. Nancy has been in and out of hospitals and rehab for the last months and now, the end is quite near. My sister brought her home yesterday to live her last few days.
