    That's a mistake you'll only make once. Wives seem to not understand the importance and like to make this mistake over and over again though.

    I don't post much, and I never ask for anything.

    My mom is dying. She's been on a transplant list for a while now but lungs are a bitch.

    I came home a few weeks back when she was admitted and intubated. She stabilized and I came to my home.

    I got call this morning that basically she's not going to make it. I'm the eldest child and as such I get to be the one to decide what happens as she doesn't have a living will. She doesn't have a DNR, but I know she wouldn't want to live by machines.

    I'm not a religious man, be it that I'm flawed to you guys or not it doesn't matter. The few of you that know me, know my relationship with my family. It's not great, shocker I know.

    I'm asking for those of you that believe in a god. I don't care if it's 'god', allah, or Yahweh. I could use some help.

    Be it prayers, or positive vibes. She's been sick for a long time, and it has nothing to do with what you think someone would need lungs for.

    So despite what you may think of me, I ask that whatever positive you can send my may that you do so.

    I don't want to have to be the one to pull the plug. I'm a fairly strong person, and I believe that medicine trumps faith. Right now though I'll take faith, and yes I know, in faith you can't choose it when it suits you. That's not how it works and I know. I just need something before I have to bury my mother.

    Monky,

    Indeed you are a strong person, because it's not easy to ask for help with which we all struggle in some degree or another.

    You are faced with an arduous task: the death and burial of your mother. You have done one corporal work of mercy: visiting the sick, and shall at some point do another: bury the dead.

    I have prayed for you and will continue to do so.

    If you need anything at all, let us know.

    I sent him a message about 4 months ago and never heard back. I'm sure he's just busy with life and kids and stuff.

    CavSct nailed it.

    That's not an easy thing to be faced with, but know that in the end, everything will be okay and your mother will be at peace. The HB family will light a candle for her and pray for the healing and strengthening of your family. I pray that God helps you to find peace and joy despite the difficult circumstances.

    Please reach out again if there is any way we can help.

    On another note

    In 1944 - 18 year old's were storming Normandy beach with knowledge that they would most likely get killed.
    In 2016 - 18 year old's are crying because they did not get their way. Sad sad state of our country - liberals and Hollywood have destroyed it.

    However, it is giving credence to the idea that the aluminum in antiperspirant leads to Alzheimer's because I now remember what it's like to stink.
