I never in a hundred years thought I&#39;d be in this position. Neither did Earl, I&#39;m sure. But like Nancy said below, we are taking it one day at a time. And I know when the end is near I will do everything in my power to be with him. <br /><br />And Virginia you are so right! I forgot to take my own meds for three days because of my situation with Earl.Tory Richardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15204239985174971015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757110830153612700.post-59442430044508996942012-01-12T16:37:18.614-05:002012-01-12T16:37:18.614-05:00Tory,<br />i am so sorry this has happened. i will keep you in my prays.<br /><br />trvlagnt1t@yahoo.comtammy rameynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757110830153612700.post-75728082244359290192012-01-11T21:53:33.868-05:002012-01-11T21:53:33.868-05:00I am so sorry to hear this news. My heart goes out to you and all of your family. Please let me know if I can help in any way. I am a good sounding board! Don&#39;t forget to be a caregiver for yourself during this time. Do what you are able to do, and don&#39;t worry about the rest. Take care!Virginia Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09960370038323930029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757110830153612700.post-16310262095223683942012-01-11T16:38:12.979-05:002012-01-11T16:38:12.979-05:00Debbie...Years ago my family experienced this situation with my Dad. There was no choice and it hurt like hell. All I can offer from the experience is to take each day as it comes and cherish whatever time you get to spend together.<br /><br />Denial may seem comforting right now but consider what it may cost later. I don&#39;t know but Earl might need you in the moment with him and know that you&#39;re wearing your big girl pants.<br /><br />It&#39;s wonderful to want best case scenario but if positions were reversed would you not want acknowledgement of what is really going down? Wouldn&#39;t it be freeing to not have to pretend?<br /><br />Only you, of course, know best what is good for you and will act accordingly.<br /><br />Mine is just another point of view as I ask questions of what I would want from my soul mate in the same situation. Having an 800 pound gorilla in the room and not having it acknowledged would make me ballistic. Truth be known, I would not stand for it. I need honesty with myself and the person I love best. Only then would I not feel alone.<br /><br />I hold all good thoughts for you. ~NancyNancy Bristowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10695115758668799826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757110830153612700.post-31482635376092417562012-01-11T15:48:38.045-05:002012-01-11T15:48:38.045-05:00I feel really bad for you with this, I know you agonized over the decision.
