I’m John, I had the honour of protecting gemm when things were a bit wild around here [believe she wrote about it in another goal].
Since then I’ve been trying to talk this beautiful lady into sharing the future with me.
You all know she is ill, right?
I took her to Loch Lomond on friday, she’d just said goodbye to C her dance partner, and I wanted her to have some fun, to be in a place she loves. I carried her to the edge of the loch, and asked her to Whisper to the wild animals.
If you know K, you’ll know she has this special magic with animals.
I stood her in front of me, and took her weight, holdng her from behind. She closed her eyes and streched out her arms. I could feel her breath change, her heartbeat change, the whole loch seemed to change. Then she opened her eyes and staring pointing out all the anmals that were standing watching her. Then she made diffent calls for each of them. Soon we were surrounded by wild animals, they were predators and prey, all gathering around K, and none of them fighting. God it was awesome, they can’t resist her anymore than I can.
Don’t know if you guys get sheet rain over there, but a huge front of sheet rain started crossing the Loch. I picked her up and ran for the car. But we got soaked before we got there. K was soaked to the skin and freezing, but glowing from the animals. I got her home as fast as poss. But I really messed up, should never have let her get so cold and wet.
I came to see her yesterday, she looked feverish and had a terible cough. She was taking silver when I arrived, and said not to worry.
But late last night, she was snuggled beside me, laughing and chatting to her friend Jamie, then she started coughing up blood.
God it happened so fast, no warning, just all this blood. Her mum got differnt herbs and things, K was pointing to what she needed but couldn’t talk, then she passed out.
I stayed all night watching her, she only woke once for a few seconds. Isobel had said if that happens to give her lots of water.
Today, she’s still out. Isobel said this isn’t a major bleed out, and it looks like a light coma. But it is terrifying, and there’s the lung infection too. K can’t answer questions, or tell us what she needs. I can’t bare the thought of losing her now, but I can’t find what to do to help her.
Isobel asked me to post this, and let all her pals here now what has happened. So please pray for K, pray she pulls through this.
She’s lying beside me, she looks tiny, she looks frail, she looks very sick. All the fun and love, all the bubbling personality are silent. I think that’s why see looks so tiny, like a big bit of her has gone.
The things I face at work never prepared me for this. She needs her pals more then ever. The world wouldn’t be the same without her.
