the last time my grannie went into the hospital, she said “It’s time to go home” and that’s the request we honored.

My dad was in a coma and was diagnosed as brain dead.
I am his oldest child but I had no say about pulling the plug, because he had a wife.

I have power of attorney of my sister in law’s request to “Do Not Resuscitate”.

What is God’s will in these matters ? Even in prayer and meditation I do not know.

I like(d) none of this, all I could do is love them and those around them.

In 2000 I was caring for my 89 yr old father while he had prostate cancer. His prostate had enlarged and blocked the ureter causing severe pain. As he was getting in the car with me to go to the hospital, he turned to my mother and said, “I may not be home again. You know those nurses at the hospital are really cute.” He never lost his sense of humor right to his departure several months later at home.
