Thanks so much for the responses. The passion in all of you is amazing. I'm hoping your responses will get read and really "listened" to. I can bring the horse to the water but I can't make him drink...but I sure as heck will die trying to convince him too. Quitting is not somehting I've ever allowed myself to do...although there have been times...I'm hoping now that some of this determination will rub off...now more than ever. His life is valuable to me and to many others...now to convince him. Thank you.
