She Could Not Eat

Mother died of throat cancer
till death struggling to eat but unable
The day she died, saw her in dreams
eating delicacies and ice cream

Nothing more horrible than her predicament. Nothing more symbolic than the dream you saw: She was in a place of no suffering and much joy! Excellent writing, my dearest friend, Rama. Blessings.
