Lives of father and daughter intertwined until the end ~ died within two days of each other

I also hope it’s not darker than what was written. I doubt both of her parents deprived her of food and water. Her father was also cognitively impaired, and died two days after her.

If that's the way it was, let us be thankful for the years of care the daughter got. And let us be all the warier of claims that justify "mercy" killing.

I myself want to believe the best because I am moved by the member of this forum who did care the right way for a disabled son. There are real-life heroes, many of them, who quietly care for loved ones. But, yes, I'm sure there are plenty of other people who try to make themselves look good while doing evil.

I’m convinced her father gave her an abundance of love throughout her life. There really are angels among us.

If there was deprivation,was it of the daughter or the father, OR BOTH? This story is at first glance touching but it makes one wonder.

Ck out mom’s picture. That isn’t a loving look at daughter

Why did an ALZ patient need a new hip? Is the hip surgery a coverup? At his age and mental state, hip surgery might not be recommended at all.

Is mom a distant relative of HINO?

Did dad have life insurance? His death raises more suspicion imo.

I can tell you right now that the majority of unborn babies who are tested, and shown having a high likelihood of down syndrome or other serious deformities are aborted quickly.

A childhood friend of mine called me very distressed upon testing his first child and both him and the mother were told that their child will more likely be born with DS. They ignored the option of abortion and allowed the pregnancy to continue, they put their faith into the Lord. Today a rambunctious, healthy Aida who just finished first grade in top of her class creates havoc on her grandparents farm on a 2 months vacation in Eastern Europe. She already decided she will be a vet. I cannot help myself but hug her parents whenever I see her.

Very good for them! That very scenario happens quite a bit.

>>>God help us the day we start seriously selecting out for folks like Anita Lynne Tebbs. Can the day of selecting out for folks like me be far behind?<<<

How true. Our culture, such that it is, allows the taking of life before birth, and in some circles, they want to justify the taking of life near its end...once that practice is established, all that’s left is closing the gap.
