it is an honor to be a part of this. and i work for a really great agency. and it is the most rewarding thing i have ever done.

i am glad they were there for you. it draws a certain sort of people. happy warriors in the march of life and death. there to lend whatever kind of a hand is needed.

i am so sorry your family still debates this. we run into that once in a while, and it is so hard for the person who has to decide. especially when it is a very young patient, it is so very difficult.
i hope at some point they see that, tho it was you who made the call, really, her disease made the call.

really, it surprised me. like so many people i think that in that situation, i would take action myself and not wait around. i think most of us think that. then when the time comes, you just want those days. you just want to live.
i have a friend right now who is dying of als. in the beginning, he said the same, that he would go out on his feet.
and somehow, he is still here, in the VA, on a vent and suffering. he is able to do so little, and yet he doesnt give up.

it has been a really eye opening experience for me.

you are so very welcome my dear.
peace.
