I don't really blame you for being curious. I feel the same way. This is got to be tough on you and your girl, and I really hate to hear that you have to go through this during "the most wonderful time of the year." Hang in there, bud. I hope you guys are able to find some joy anyway.
Just so y'all know , he passed away last night . From what my GF tells me , he was doped up enough that he felt nothing when the time came . I sometimes wonder if I'd rather do a slow fade into oblivion , or have something happen so fast so I don't even realize I'm dead . I guess there is something to be said about having some time to put your affairs into order , saying the goodbyes you want to say .
