As for her choice I would think it is the right one however painful it is for you.

I do believe it is a person's right to choose when they go, it is their life after all?
Thanks Russ - where have you been anyway? Nice to see you here again. And yes - I had to come to the same conclusion, It was her choice and she got to make it. I wish we had been able to talk one more time but clearly that was MY wish and not hers.

My Gran decided on the same thing for something similar around ten years ago - I still think in some ways it was one of the bravest things I've seen someone do, but she was that drained from all the treatment she had to go through that she didn't have any energy left.

Big hugs to you.

I've kinda go off Jovi for a while, think I've over done it over the years and need a brake from them. I've been very busy at work though and have just started a new business buying and selling Jeeps, seems to be going well at the mo
