I do agree. I still don't believe it is anyone's right to take him out of it. And Josie, please stop swearing at me. It's not me you're really angry with. And it hurts my feelings.
I won't tell you it gets easier. That's not my place. I will tell you I know how it feels. A very long time ago a woman in my parish asked me to end her life. She had a form of cancer and she was in such pain. Being Catholic she couldn't do it herself. As her priest, she figured God would absolve me. So she asked because she knew she could trust me. And I did it because I couldn't stand to see her like that. And I still dream about her and it still haunts me. And to this day I don't know if it was right or wrong, and I wish I never had to make that decision.
Josie, I don't want you going through that because of an arsehole like Dragonetti. Even if you think it wouldn't do the same to you, it would. It's still a life. He's still a human. And whatever you felt watching the life drain out of him, I do not believe that is the feeling that would stay with you.
I meant it when I said you are better than that. I love you very much, Josie. I want better things for you. Dragonetti can be dealt with in ways that don't damage the young woman I love and respect.
