Kathy, you and Ben are in my thoughts and prayers. It just tears me up inside that Ben feels that way.
I pray that God lightens the heaviness of your hearts, and eases your pain in a way that only He can!

I give Ben credit, after watching the news, I think checking out early is a good idea. Things here show signs of deteriorating faster, I could be out of work, out of insurance and be on no care Medicare. But God keeps me here plugging along. So Ben, teach me how to plug along, lets find our own reasons to stick around!Originally Posted by Gillette
Today he told me he wished he would just die so I could get on with my life.
