It is one of things I like least about my day job, delivering news that transition is close, I am not sure how graceful I will be when I reach that point, we get so comfy in our present digs , it is hard to imagine being without these present molecules.

I truly believe that our inevitable death is not the end all...rather a new beginning for us.....I believe this from having held the hands of dying patients in my practice as a nurse.
