Heather...

Heather celebrated her 94th birthday last week. This morning when she woke up she felt very weak and a cramp in her stomach pained so much she felt she should call her sister Hilda and let her know. Hilda showed up at her home and took her to a hospital and the doctors found out a cancer in her liver. It was incurable.
Heather looked at the Doctor when he said that she didn't have enough time left. She immediately turned her eyes to Hilda and requested her to plan a holiday for her... To take her to Ayers Rock where she wanted to visit since she was a child just 17 years old.
Hilda did some planning and took Heather on a Central Australian Tour.
Heather, Hilda and Hilda's husband spent 2 days at Ayers Rock. During their stay at a resort they did a tour and met with this very lively adorable full of life tour guide named Romain. Romain learnt about Heather's condition and felt something while they were on a tour with him. Romain always carried a camera with him. He sought this as an opportunity and took a picture of Heather, Hilda and himself and the rock behind them. All of them smiling. He was smiling because he showed someone something they had waited for all their lives to see, Hilda had a smile because she had been a good sister and Heather had a shine of accomplishment in her eyes. They shared their addresses and decided to trade these pictures.
Romain sent a copy out a week later back to Hilda. A few weeks later Hilda wrote him back that Heather was no more and she passed away while asleep a few nights ago and her death was painless...
