Decisions

 

Life is filled with decisions, most of them so trivial we never really give them a second thought.

Vanilla or chocolate? Red or blue? Hot or cold?  We just pick our favorites and fly right on by, but a few of them are not so easy and most of those involve people we love.

Should Johnny go to camp for two weeks or six? Does Sally really need a two thousand dollar bike?

Should Granny have a hired nurse, or go into some kind of care facility?

Is chemo worth the agony for the life it may prolong?

In the best of all worlds the hard decisions will have some obvious quality of life ramifications, but life isn't always in the best of all worlds.

Then we may be forced into making heart breaking decisions that are not so clear cut.

And knowing they are done with more love than anything else is all we've got. 

That has to be enough.
