Went to a memorial service yesterday for a dear friend of over 30 years who had been withered by a progressively degenerative lung disease the entire time I knew him. Losing him was tough. But he spent the entire last few years, when things were clearly in a terminal state, demonstrating how a real man deals with setbacks in a brave and dignified way. He was fully aware and able to give the command that keeping him alive by artificial means was no longer his wish. A man of true honor and integrity.
Yup, I'm old, but I've seen and felt some things.
