Well, Sunny, I may well be in the same position as you one day, because my father has always felt very strongly in the right of every person to decide their fate for themselves. (That's hilarious, I think it's an ideal he has, more than the way he actually is.. but good for him, for having that ideal. It's a worthy one.)
One day he'll be wanting to die, and I'll be supporting him in that. I hope I don't feel guilty the way you do. Your guilt is wasted, Sunny, you know it has no bearing on reality, really. You just want dignity for your dad, and less pain and suffering. You know that's true, even though the little voice of your old buddy Guilt is trying to get more than a toehold in there.... ew, there must be a reason Sunny wants to get rid of her dad, heh heh. No way. That's the same negative voice that's caused you all this grief for this long.
So, was I just talking to myself? I think so.
