Our Sweetness ~ Miss Marplestein
5 June 2005 - 28 September 2021 On August 1st, I wrote one of my saddest blogs ever - the death of our Dulcinea, Miss Marplestein's sister. "Death seems to be ever preset in our home these days." And he hasn't left. Death chose to take our sweet, sweet Miss Marplestein yesterday, the 28th of September. We noticed a change in her, but we thought it was grief for her "Noni", and her sister. Perhaps she had a UTI. We certainly did not expect to hear that she was in the end stage of renal failure. And nothing much we could do. Sure, we could hospitalize her, they could poke and prod and give her needles; but none of that would cure her. It would only prolong the inevitable. We decided to keep her home. Just like Dulcinea, we wanted her to be where she was most comfortable, most loved and cherished. Have I said Miss M was sweet? Well, she was. Dulcinea was the diva and could be standoffish, but not Miss M. She loved people. She loved her brother, Henley. S
