“These people are so undeserving of our money words can’t express my contempt.”
Beau has really brought me around to this way of thinking. I’d LIKE to keep thinking that EVERY life is precious, but after knowing a number of people that had MILLIONS spent on them to extend their lives - and then they died, ANYWAY - I am more and more convinced that we need to set some sort of parameters on this stuff.
The ‘Dad’ in this situation would make a FINE organ donor. ;)
OTOH, when my Best Gal pal was dying of cancer, she was so amazingly BRAVE and told the doctors to experiment on her at will with meds and different chemo procedures, etc., in case it might help the cause in the future. She was terminal, and the last two months of her life were pretty awful for all of us. :(
Then on the THIRD hand, I care for my aging Dad and ALL of his ‘ailments’ are self-inflicted. Smoking for 40 years (he’s quit, but the damage is done), drinking too much (I’ve got him down to Lite Beer, Thank You, Jesus!) way overweight, tethered to oxygen, diabetic (caused by the weight) won’t eat his veggies, hasn’t really MOVED since he retired 25 years ago...and living with a false sense of independence thanks to me and the gals I hire to help me care for him.
He doesn’t have a care in the world. *Rolleyes*
Yep. This is a tough one for me. Just when I want to smother him with a pillow in his sleep, he tells me how much he loves me and greatly appreciates everything I do for him. Dammit. ;)
Bless you for the fine work you do taking care of Dad.
Your Heavenly Father notices.
It isn’t so much that the kid died, unfortunately those things happen even under the best of care and intentions.
What infuriates me is that his father placed him into a shooting war, one that the father could have walked away from with his family intact at almost any point. But he didn’t.
Oh, and about smothering your father, best not too!!!
It would be bad manners! You’ll miss him, and your new fiancée will have to visit you in prison.
It’s my guess conjugal visits are not all they’re cracked up to be.
