She knew when it was time, sounds like. Might have been
that lack of purpose that did her in - seems that it at
least took away the will to continue. I envy her that
her mind and body could cooperate in making the decision;
I hope I can do so when the time comes. When I was in the
ICU last fall, after the 3 pints, I thought maybe the time
had come to make the decision, only I dilly-dallied and
said, it's okay if I die, but it's okay if I don't.
Apparently I didn't.

It was fun, and I held my own, despite being an oldster.
