My dad recently passed away, and for the last 6 months of his life, he was in and out of the hospital. As they moved him from room to room, someone would always come in with a clipboard asking him if he wanted to be removed from life support and when, and my dad’s mind was sharp until the day he died, and he’d look at them, and say, “No, I’d prefer they stay on— thank you.”

And then they would leave and we’d all get a laugh out of it. Although it wasn’t funny, it was just tasteless, and morbid. We probably had to sign that thing 50 times in 6 months.

Good lord, I can only imagine how that made all of you feel, especially him. What GHOULS.
