Serenity: The Weakening

I never saw it coming. The sickness came without warning, and I had no possible way to prepare for it. I wasn't an unhealthy or lazy person by anyone's standards. I was in good shape before the illness hit. I guess it shows you that you can never really prepare for these kinds of things. I grew weaker and weaker day by day. It finally got to the point where I knew that there would be no recovery, despite my dear husbands reassurances. I knew the end was near. My only regret is that my family would lose me. I knew it would be hard on both Alistair and Nissa. It was already so hard for them. But I was not afraid to die. I knew it was my time to go. And even through the weakening, I was not afraid.
