And this way, I can do what I have to do and run upstairs like a big baby within 3 seconds and my wife will handle the paperwork. Not putting him into the truck, getting him scared, going through those doors... I didn't even ask her what the extra cost is. It feels so wrong to be planning this while he is still here next to me. But she said to look at it as the last gift I can give to him, to be with him and let him go peacefully.
Jimmy it truly is a gift. How wonderful to leave this world for the next surrounded by love in a place we know as home.
