I don't know how many truckers pull out to pass another one and then just sit there doing about 55 passing the other one doing 54 1/2mph, 10 miles down the road he finally, maybe, gets past.
Got word this afternoon, that they have taken my MIL off all meds, and everything else too. Just a matter of time now. Rosie is accepting of the decision. Doesn't even think she wants to go back and see her again. Just worried about her dad and her sister having to maintain the vigil. But they said that they weren't going to sit there and wait either. They told them it could be 3 hours to three weeks.
Sorry to hear tee. I sat in on a couple of vigils. It's not an easy thing to do, to watch someone slowly pass. They are with us in spirit through all our days. I am grateful that I had moments to share with many people in my life and now that some are gone I have fond memories of the time we spent together. My mom is 88 and is no spring chicken. She has a really great outlook on life and death and harbors no fear of the end. Instead she is grateful for the gifts she's been given even with the hell of war she went through. She cries for all that were lost and the atrocities of World War II. All of us take life for granted I believe. (Except for BillH)
Don't ask me where that came from. I just went on a ramble .........
