So sorry to hear what's happening now. It's so sad - I know quite a few people at the moment who are preparing for "that" moment, when they are forced to say farewell to a beloved mom or dad. They don't last us forever, do they?

I remember watching my father in his last few days. And the vibrant, active, interested-in-everything man I had known - was little more than a piece of meat. With a lot of wires and tubes coming out of him at various places on his body. It was awful. AWFUL. I so sympathize. It's one of those situations in which you don't know what to pray for - safe passage, or some sort of incomprehensible recovery? I was too cynical to hope for a miracle.

I send you love and strength and all the prayers I can think of. We all do, my friend.

My thoughts are with you.... Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #1
