I liked it a lot. Your other story you posted too! With this prompt, the illness/death premise is always going to be heart wrenching if done right. I don't know if you saw the little story I posted for this too, but it was based off a thing I saw on Facebook a long time ago. Someone posted: Write the 4 saddest words you know. And a friend of mine responded: "The girl died alone." It always stuck with me.
