We are trying to hang in there. Neil is pretty confused most of the time but is not in pain. I am struggling with making sense of this needless suffering. I'm also trying to hold on to my faith in God-I feel it waivering right now and I don't want to go down that road. It's so hard to see someone who had struggled so hard and fought so long spending the rest of his days in a bed not knowing what's going on around him. So many wonderful members of Neil's local union have come by to say that they owe their jobs/ways of life to him and I hope he realizes this on some level. It's just so unfair that someone who has given so much should have to die like this. I do, however, get strength from coming to this site and reading everyone's posts. It helps to know that people i haven't even met face to face are so caring and compassionate.
