My sister in law drove 100 miles an hour on rural country roads, but he told her he wasn't going to make it. She arrived at the hospital blaring her horn and screaming out the window, but he had died in the seat beside her. My mom will be 90 this year and lives near my sister in law and my brothers family. She never has gotten over the loss.

I adore my kids and grandkids, but know they will be fine without me. Ecency keeps me from being lonely and knowing that I can be helpful to others here gives me a purpose to wake up each day.
