Oh KML... I haven't been on here in awhile and just read about CMM. I am so sorry for your loss but also glad for him that he got to make the choice of when and where he was going to go. I wish my dad had been able to make that choice. His last six weeks were pretty much spent in a coma and the few weeks before that were worse...as he was conscious. Not an end I would wish for anyone...especially a man who had led such an exemplary life as a devoted husband and father. Watching him deteriorate the way he did...having to go through countless goodbye's wondering if this was the last time I would see him...it was all very, very draining on him and on us. So when there is no cure and a person has fought the good fight and has made peace with their decision and said all they needed to say, I will always, always support their right to choose. Doesn't make it easier for the people left behind but death is never easy for anyone. I am glad he had a peaceful end with you and your son holding his hand. I'm sure it was a great comfort to him in his final moments. Much love to you and your family. (((HUGS)))
