" They sedated her, and when she came back, she remained unconscious for three days. I stayed at her side late into the night, sometimes sleeping over.

" When I got there, a night nurse, whom I still want to thank, had washed Gilda and taken out all the tubes. She put a pretty yellow barrette in her hair. She looked like an angel. So peaceful.
