i still feel the guilt at times & i can cry at the drop of a hat thinking about them all but it was for the best & im sure in my heart they were thanking us at the end |
I agree with what you said about selfishness, we always said we would never keep monty alive for us, and felt thats exactly what we were starting to do without admitting to ourselves we just made excuses that he sempt a little better today or they might be able to give him different meds, we knew we was imagining this because it was so hard to think of the alternative, we had to be selfless and let him go it wasnt fair.
