****Because it’s about her, not me*****

Very wise comment....we should make decisions based on others’ needs, not just our own.

God bless

It’s okay to be sad, but i am joyful that i spoke with my friend for nearly two hours, focusing our conversation on her comfort and thoughts at this tragic end of life event. She is an ER doctor by profession, and a suffering cancer patient by twist of fate. She understands the ramifications and nuance of her total circumstance, which has made her ordeal all the more difficult. She said that while in hospital last week, she understood “what all the beeps mean.”

I have prayed much harder for her than i was remembering. Even with her impending demise, i heard her smile at something wry that i said. We get each other, and love each other. And I managed to tell her that in a solid voice without crying.

Your part helped me get the strength i needed.
