“... we know nothing about this man...”

Well, in a way we do via his children and grandchildren. They speak of their 60 plus years together as loving. They also admit that he took excellent care of her including numerous trips to the doctors/specialists. I think if there was an indication that he just got sick of her and his life... there would be more details including that she was dirty, starved, etc.. via her medical doctors. I don’t condone murder. However, I look at intent. His intent, IMHO, was not to get “rid” of his wife. His intent was to end her suffering. I wouldn’t want to walk a mile in his shoes.. seeing someone you love suffer and hearing them beg to end their life. All I am saying is that he is old, sick himself and nearing the end of his life with the woman he loved who was in pain. I think it is easy to judge and say, “NEVER, EVER” when you look at simple facts on paper. I think living it... seeing it and dealing with that kind of stress is difficult to comprehend unless you are in his shoes. Just my opinion....

I have Pulmonary Fibrosis. Put a clothespin on your nose, a straw in your mouth and a 2ton elephant on your chest. That is my life everyday. When I can’t get air into my concrete turning lungs, should my daughter just put a pillow over my face and make all of this terror go away. It will go when God says it will go. Until then He will give me and my family the grace to endure.
