It tolls for thee....

My ex-husband's mother just died - he called me from the hospital. This is a woman who made our lives miserable and played a big part in our break-up over 15 years ago. She tortured him since he was a kid and he gave up his life to take care of her. I want to feel bad for her but can only pray that she will be at peace and now he can live his life in peace.

No man is an island, Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
