My wife was a nurse for 34 years. The last 10 she was a hospice nurse. After seeing so many people younger than she die, and so many dreams unrealized because they grew old or got sick, she decided to retire early so we could get the show on the road.
I visited inpatient hospice with my pet therapy dog every week. I was the only one that would make the drive. At the time, I was 46 and I would visit patients younger than I that were in the last few days of their life. I would cry all the way home most every day. I told my better half that we needed to get on the road as soon as possible, as life is way too short.
