Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

LIFE AIN'T FAIR

My dear Mother suffered a heart attack last Thursday evening and another milder one Friday morning. We went over to see her Friday afternoon and she looked a lot better than she has looked for a while. We went back Saturday and she looked a little worse.

She was asleep when we got there Saturday so we just sat down to wait until she woke up. A nurse came in and woke her, cussed her, and put her oxygen back on. Apparently she has been taking it off regularly, and she will not wear it at home. I think that is her attempt to get out of this life without commiting suicide which she believes is simply self induced murder.

She is 92 years and 7 months old and does not want to be here. She told me to do something in my life that guaranteed that I wouldn't live as long as she has. I dearly love my Mother but if life were fair God would have taken her several years ago.

I wish she could just die, but at the same time I wish she could live forever, but be healthy! I love her so much!!! It'll be a sad sad day when she dies!
