This article caught my attention last week. It's a bit harsh, but very to the point about the circus surrounding the poor woman who's upper brain has atrophied past all function, but lower brain makes her seem to be responsive to desperate parents who can't let go.
I do feel bad for them as everyone with a heart would. Not in a political way like Republicans who want to make hay out of this, but as a Mom and wife.
I don't think my parents would ever show such extreme stubborness, but if they did I would pray my dear longsuffering husband would have the courage to say "When". But just for the record, my spirit won't be sticking around that long. So save the money and anguish.
My Aunt Linda told me about someone she knows who was in a coma for 18 months before he woke up! How awesome is that!? And 18 is the Hebrew number for Le Chaim, "Life".
If anything happens, give me 18 months, ok? And bury me in some really cool fiber, in a natural place, in a simple pine box where I can enrich the earth one more time:)
