Some folks have said that they'd like to die surrounded by family or with their husband or wife by their side, not me......I'd much rather be sitting in a 'waiting room' and have the doctor come out and say, "she just passed peacefully".
I've actually been beside two men as they took their last breath and it's something that I'll never forget as long as I live and they weren't even that close to me.....now multiply that feeling by 1000% and I know that it would be extremely hard / gut wrenching for me to sit beside mama and actually watch her take her last breath of air as I'm sure it would be for her also.
Now excuse me while I get up and go pour another cup of coffee and clear my head, just sitting here thinking about it puts a lump in my throat.
