16. Welcome to DU, abhishekbt!

Glad you're here. We're all touched. This photos kind of allow the viewer to sit and join in and help keep the vigil, don't they?

Sobering. Really brings it home. One dreads that empty-bed photo. Reminds me of the call I got telling me my mom had finally succumbed (to all kinds of nasty shit that sickened her. Ironically, cancer was about the only thing she didn't have). Walking down the hall on her floor of the hospital, you'd pass by door after door after door, all of them open at least partially, where you can always kinda peek inside as you pass and see there's somebody in there, and maybe a nurse or a visitor or somebody, even silhouettes of somebody that are visible when the curtains are drawn in front of them. That particular night, I noticed that, unlike all the others, and after countless hospitalizations she'd had in the last two or three years of her life, the door to her room was now closed. For the first time ever. Just that one little detail can be rather devastating. Even when you're kinda expecting it.
