kyburgI can remember Pope John Paul I. I remember the fellow before him, too.
But I am going to miss this fellow, I really think I will.
*sighs* If I need to weigh in on the pro-life side for this, let it be remembered. If you truly believe in an afterlife, there are things far worse that dying in this world.
I wish we could come to terms on providing care as it is wanted - not always as a fallback to 'just in case.' Wish.
As you might imagine, I'm not fond of prolonging life artificially - just for the sake of prolonging life. You've got to be able to live to be alive.
There will be legal forms copied and distributed in the next week or so, to the affected parties. Don't worry about that - I have a couple from Mom that spell out her wishes very clearly.
I'm not to take any heroic actions on her part. I'm not to use any kind of artificial life support in any way, under any conditions.
For the record, I'm cool with that. My directive will likely be much the same.
A death from sepsis is not an easy one. Even though they can be swift, they aren't always.
I'll miss him. But I am very ready to let him go.
He'll be okay. I'm sure of it.
