I just knew

I started looking in the obituaries yesterday...it's something us nurses do to see if we recognize any names.  I just knew my patient from Monday night would be in there...and he was.  He passed away on Tuesday, July 4th.  I don't know if it was during the day or at night.  I hope his family was at bedside or the nurse or someone.  No one should have to die alone.
