I've watched my stepfather do it for his daughter and my husband for his aunt. I'm so sorry you had to go through that for your mother, but I've promised my mother certain things too and that is what we do when we love someone.
I have stayed off these Terri threads for almost all the time, but this is so upsetting to me when 'our Republicans' in D.C. make absolute fools of themselves in such a blatant political way, I wonder what is to become of us...
