Thank you, Rae, for your insightful, moving, care giving as only you can.... post. We all can use a spur to the other meadow to see whether life there is exactly the same, or whether different perspective does bring along new thought patterns, new observations, another look at the meaning our life brings to others.

In my talk this week, I did go through the suicidal ideation, the thoughts about ending pain for self and family, only to be brought to the realization that ending one pain sets another in motion. I rather like David's stone in the ocean. Gives one much about which to think..... whom do I affect with my actions?

As for Colorado, yes there are apothecaries which under regulation do dispense medically prescribed marijuana. I understand even Chiros legitimately write for the products. That tends to bring a certain offense to the MD community, of which I have a good many neighbors. I will not try the stuff. Avoided it during college, and see no reason to take it up now.

Yep, you brought goodness to light in your post Rae,
Thank you,
