That's not cold-hearted, ND, that's compassionate. No one wants to linger and no one wants them to linger, either. Pretty much everyone in my family has DNRs on their record. And, if they don't, we all know that that's their wish, because it's something we often discuss.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
No, that sounds loving, really. I've hoped it for many relatives over the years.

Very understandable, especially given the circumstances, ND.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If you're cold-hearted, ND (you aren't), then so am I. This is how I felt about my mother's slow decline. It's so hard. I wish you and your family peace and strength and best outcomes possible.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'll agree with what others said, ND. We had eight years to mourn my dad before he died. They could not be described by any of us as positive, for him or for us. Peace and comfort, to all of you.

What has been said, ND. Strength and comfort to you and yours in the time to come.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, my grandfather was gone for me several years before he died. It's really hard.

I feel like I've been mourning my mom for many years now.

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this, ND. You're anything but cold-hearted. Peace and strength to you and your family.
