I knew I should have worn pants.
It's like a south Florida disco nightmare chandelier....it's......hideous...lol
I'm sorry for that pain.
My mom had a living will. She didn't want extraordinary things to keep her alive, but when the time was coming, neither did she seem to grasp the concept of dying. Cigarettes did their part in killing her slowly, not only by the harm they did on their own but the collateral damage to other organs and general weakening of her immune system.
At the end, her liver was shutting down with other organs starting to follow, and the hematoxicity was affecting her thought processes. The doc, a great guy, had her living will wishes, but when he was presenting her with the choice, her mind couldn't grasp it. I was the executor, and I said what he said was fine, and we worded things in such a way to get a "yes" from her. No, I don't feel bad about the manipulation itself. I just feel bad that we had to do that in order to get through her addled state to what we knew she wanted.
We went to her place (actually, my rental house) and packed her things to go to hospice. At that point, she was more under the impression that she was going off for a couple days of treatment and coming back home. She was in hospice two or three days, and I was there when she passed. She died about a month before her 70th birthday (as did my dad) and, sadly, looking old and broken down (as did my dad). I'll be 65 this year, and there's no comparison between our robustness at our respective ages. I hate the tobacco industry.
The only thing we didn't do in accordance with her wishes was that we didn't put down her dog. That's kind of as bad as it sounds. We found the dog a nice home.
My mom and I weren't particularly close. More dutiful, really. Whatever her other attributes and deficits might have been, she was hard-working in her church volunteer work, and I gave a nice eulogy at her funeral that was well-received by the parishioners.
*hugs* To all the Mothers of human babies or furry ones. Hope you have a good day
I caught that-- it is the sentiment not the incorrect grammar that counts.
Much love to everyone on Mother's Day. Hug someone who has nurtured you and remember with joy those who have passed on through.
Happy Mother's Day to all moms on the SKMB. I hope you have a very nice, spoiled weekend, because you all deserve it.
And a very Happy Mother's Day to my wife Tamara, a wonderful mother to her son, an amazing step-mother to my son, and a great person in general.

I'm beginning to see the joy of motherhood- did i Just say that? When I look at my children these days I'm so proud of them - I have to say it was all worth it. Every second of it.
Happy Mothers Day to all my SKMB mom friends!
Happy Mothers Day to all my SKMB mom friends!
Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely Mamas here. Hope you all have a happy day on Sunday. 
Happy Mother's day to all moms. We celebrate it here too, I'll work on Sunday, but have bought a
gift for my mother already that I'll give to her before I'll go to work. My sister aren't visit us this weekend but she'll come
next weekend. So it's going to be me, my dad and my mom who is celebrate mother's day on Sunday. I am not a mother and probably
never will be, but I am happy to have my parents still alive so I can celebrate these special days.

I am sorry a bit late to Mother's day party-However, I hope all enjoyed. Thanks to all the special ladies that make a joy for the kiddos.
I spent this year's Mother's Day at my son's old friend's wake.
It felt like a nightmare and I thought my heart would break
At the pictures of the boy who used to hang around...
Ate and slept here. Yet, today, they'll lay him in the ground.
He was such a lovely boy; so funny but so sweet.
Taught our son to play guitar and how to keep a beat.
I can still remember them - in triumph on the stage.
Such a talent gone from us at far too young an age.
Both my sons attended with me and they made me proud
As we stood in line and waited with the massive crowd
Come to say goodbye and offer useless sympathy
And, like all but Adam's mom, thanked God she wasn't me.

How sad! So sorry for the loss of what sounds like a fine young man. Prayers to the family and friends!
sorry for the loss. Prayers for his family and friends. The poor mom.
My sincere condolences to your family and his. Truly heartbreaking whenever a parent has to bury a child.
