Oh, sister dear. Even though I just talked to you on the phone about Oo-tapo, reading your poignant words about him -- and death -- brought so many tears to my eyes. But when I saw the bottom picture of him, there was such a catch--a stitch in my own breath, that I had to consciously make myself breathe again.

I hope all continues to go well today. I think you are doing the right thing by having him there with you for however long he is comfortable. Your loving hands and presence are what is best for now.

Thanks Kathy, yes, today I think it was the right decision to bring him home - just have to wait and see how it goes now...

That's ok Deb - we all have our own opinions of how we would handle similar situations. I'm probably more sentimental than most... Thanks for your support.
