Cindy, this makes my heart hurt. I agree 35 was the most painful for me to think about. They give us so, so much during their lives. I can't imagine leaving my baby to face death alone when I could be there to ease & comfort them. Even the thought has me in tears.
I wish you'd post this in the general forum so more members would see it.
