Short Bio

I was diagnosed with pulmonary. Fibrosis 7 years ago and just began real decline last year. Since then I have hospice, morphine, O2 ( full time) and a very caring family. With any exertion it becomes impossible to breathe so Iam forced to be still and sit quietly. Iam thankfull God has giving this opportunity to get my affairs in order and say things to the people in my life that matter. This slow process of dying is killing me and it’s very hard on my family but I know there is bigger plan.
