    So sad! You are so right we all need to count our blessings and tell everyone we love them daily. Troy and his family are in my thoughts as prayers you as well. Are you ok? I'm sure this is very hard on you. I'm truly sorry.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    lots of thoughts today ..
    Oh yes he knows, which is what I would think would make it even harder. His brain is FULLY functional but he has no muscle control. He is the one who made this decision.

    About 2 or so months ago he lost the last bit of movement in his finger to communicate (type). At that time the only body part he was able to move was his eyelids. The hospital loaned him a pair of $7000 eyeglasses, where he could communicate by blinking his eyes (the eyelashes would hit the glasses and type out messages on the comp. screen) He can barely even communicate that way now, if at all.

    He has not eaten, breathed, anything of the sorts on his own in about 8 months or so.

    That is so sad, knowing you are going to die. How horrible.
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    Oh Donna, thank you so much for thinking of me but as mentioned we truly are blessed. We must be strong to live this thing called life now-a-days. I am fine, well considering anyways, as fine as I can be but I'm counting my belssing here. Very sad & heartbroken but I am fine. It's the less unfortunate we must think of now.
    Thank you again though sweetie.
    Soar high & free my sweet fur angels. I love you Nanook & Raustyk... forever & ever.

    Sad knowing that you will die, but a relief knowing that your struggles will soon be over. The old song

    Soon I will be done-a with the troubles of the world
    The troubles of the world
    The troubles of the world
    Soon I will be done-a with the troubles of the world
    I'm goin' to be with God

    Do go gently into that good night, Troy. Our prayers are with you and your wife and children. My mother died of Lou Gehrig's disease, so I know how hard it is for your loved ones.

    Very good advice. Every time something goes wrong in life, I try to remember this and not to whine.

    I will think of Troy today and keep his family in my thoughts and prayers.

    What a terrible situation, for Troy, his family and his friends. My heart goes out to all.

    God bless him, and know that he and all of his loved ones are in my thoughts and prayers.
