RE: The long road

Hey man thanks. Yeah, it's a mighty tough decision and I think unless one has to make it for themselves it might be very difficult to understand the process of it.

I never agreed with my mum's decision although had no choice but to accept it. I was also in the room when the doctor told her she had 12 months to live. I can remember it like it was yesterday...It wasn't a good moment, and one I'm unlikely to open up about here, or in real life to be honest. She passed away almost 12 months to the day later. I'll not forget how she looked immediately after the doctor delivered the news. Had she had treatment maybe it would have been different, maybe not.

It's going to be a difficult time for sure, and probably difficult for others to understand as they're only getting snippets of information from me here, not the full picture. I guess though, it's a situation that many have dealt with, the health thing at least, and it's been good to get people's perspectives.

We'll see how we go, I'm sure there will be some difficult times ahead.
