As Reasons To Live Go ...
Posted by Bill
Dean's World guest-blogger Just a Girl touchingly reminds us all about the strength of the human spirit:
When I'm not posting on my own blog or designing sites or ranting about politics - I'm a Hospice RN, in my spare time.
...
Earlier today, I helped a dying man write his own epitaph. That really is no small task, once you sit down and set your mind to it. This man had many things that he wanted to say about his life, his beliefs and how he lived his life. Mostly his thoughts were of the people that came and went in his lifetime - - friends, lovers, enemies. His epitaph got to be so long that we decided that it needs some major editing, otherwise he'd have to buy and entire city block-length brick wall instead of a gravesite stone. Or maybe we'll just turn it into a eulogy, instead.
...
His last thought on his epitaph was that he wished he lived long enough to see George Bush re-elected into office. He wanted to live long enough to rub his liberal friends face in the dirt when it happened.
Nice! I have the strangest feeling that I'm going to be just like that guy ...

My patient does have a certain charm to him, without a doubt! :)

I dont mean to be crass, but why didn't you get him an absentee ballot?
