My Prince’s Gift: “Stay connected.” It was a very rough day today; we’re getting closer to the end for Prince. I’ve been wrestling with the concept of, as we all do, of when do you know it’s time. Unlike most people, I tend to overly conservative and not wanting my kids to suffer. Somehow, ~ LEARN MORE ~

My Prince’s Gift: “Accept support and comfort.” This is an interesting one for me to write about.

My Prince’s Gift: “Make a choice; you can always make another choice.” I made the choice to let Prince make his own choices about his path with his stomach cancer.

My Prince’s Gift: “Face reality.” I wasn’t ready to write more on “Face reality” last night. I could give myself a hard time about it; or I could just accept it. Some of it’s because I suspect I’m going to cry; and I haven’t done much of that in weeks and weeks. Frankly, I’ve, ~ LEARN MORE ~
