December 26, 2022. I remember that day well. We were all gathered by her bedside. We knew it had been coming for a few weeks. Christmas was a little overshadowed by it. But it was no less shocking. She was still dressed in her full uniform, with her insignia and all, showing her pride to serve our stream. Now, however, it was all over.
She whispered her last words just before midnight. And then… that was it. The end of an era.
