@r2cornell...
For as long as I have known you... you have been the perfect example, in my opinion, of something we should all inspire to be. Supportive, caring, understanding... and yes... a positive force on our blockchain. As I read this, I am taken back to my years growing up; I was raised by my grandparents... I am sure I have mentioned this countless times. But it is relevant, as it is my way to express I do understand the things you are sharing, and saying. I tell everyone I know, who is struggling to try and balance a load of life and the blockchain... Take care of your bubble first.... everyone knows what you are going through. If not... then perhaps your worries are wasted on them. This is not to be rude or disrespectful... but I hope you know my meaning... I digress.
As always... your photography is beautiful... I would give a shout-out, to my dear friend @dswigle who among many things... created the #alwaysaflower tag, as well as the community of the same name...

She has been around for as long as you and I (since the days of the legacy chain) and is also one of the founders of the #teamusa Discord Server. I know you had mentioned you might not to be too active. But if anything... another positive tag to use in your posts. I hope you know how very appreciated, and loved, you are brother. I send you positive energy and vibes, in hopes that these decisions you are making, come out in the easiest ways possible. Thank you again... for being such an influential force on our blockchain!

Thank you, Wes. 😊
It's quite amazing to read from someone who's dedicated 50 years of their life to being in he service of those who are less fortunate. Saints do live among us!
I am far from saintly; just another human working my way down the path before me. I have made many mistakes over those years. I know I have hurt people's feelings. I just try to keep improving myself and hopefully not repeat the mistakes from earlier years.
Sounds exactly like something a saint would say. 😉
Nobody in this world is perfect, even a saint. The constant aim to improve oneself is respectable and frankly, in my humble view, the ultimate human aspiration. Nobody in this world can ask for anything more.
Thank you and yes I understand your meaning. I appreciate it.
I recall @dswigle when I was more active. I will check out the community she started.
Thank you for your kind words.
Hi @r2cornell!! I remember you well and I am sorry to hear about your wife. I recall so many great mentions of her in your posts,
I got a not from you about teamusa, you might have had trouble getting in? I was away but when I answered it a couple of days later, you never answered back and then I got to wondering if you had problems with your account... anyway, I hope it was you. :)
#alwaysaflower is used more as a tag but, technically it is a community. There is a story about why it isn't run that way yet, but, I won't bore you. :)
Thanks for tagging me @wesphilbin ! You are so kind!
I wish I could remember sending you a note, but I probably did. So much has happened, and I have been tired for a long time. I felt a great relief earlier today when the caseworker said she would get things moving for me. I know this lady's family very well and was not sure I would hold up emotionally informing them of my decision and needs. So the caseworker will begin the process. I do not like the idea of this lady going into a place that deals with cancer patients and end-of-life issues. She is so low functioning she does not have a clue.
I would not let them send my wife to a similar facility, instead having them bring her home. She had been unconscious off and on for days while in the hospital. She woke up late the night she was home, so we spent a little time together. She could not speak but nod or shake it for "no." I held her hand for a while that night, but as with most of her body, her hands hurt to be touched. She pulled it away but later grasped my hand and held it. I gave her some liquid pain medicine that night, and she went unconscious or at least sleeping. She did not wake up after that. And the next day passed peacefully.
Not sure why I am writing all this...the lady with cancer is unaware of the process she has been going through. It may be that she will be okay going the route that is set forth. She is from a large family, and I am sure her siblings will try to visit her before she passes.
I will look at other posts using the #alwaysaflower tag. And keep it in mind when writing a post, seeing most of what I publish is related to flowers.
Peace
My heart hurts for you, it is impossible to heal yourself with so much going on around you. I think you have to trust that you have done the only thing you can do at this point, allow them to help this woman get placed in a facility. Her family will undoubtedly be there for her.
You have gone above and beyond what anyone in your position should have to do.
I cared for my dad until he left this world. A topic for another day, but, I couldn't let him be there, possibly alone when he left this world. I am glad you took your wife home. It is a tough decision for some. I know.
Again, I am so sorry about your wife. Please take good care of yourself!
