I no longer fear death, but simply see it as a necessary part of life. May the time you have left be filled with laughter, love and joy. You have many lessons to impart still.
Dearest Kathy, FBL said it so very well! My view of death changed when I sat with my mother when she took her last breath.

I won’t give you any advice because I know you will make whatever decisions are best for you. I feel so very privileged to know you and to have met you. You are unfailingly supportive and I hope I can be supportive to you as you take this journey. Lots of love and many prayers.
