its nice to dream about but: its nice to dream about but somehow I don't see it ever happening

powerful: powerful

Yes, I meant "near death: Yes, I meant "near death experience". I was moved, almost to tears, by your memories of your precious friend's passing. Wishing you comfort and peace. 

History repeats: Thank you. I know, I had been preparing since the dx. Hence my decision to write this poem. It is "funny" that even after more than 2 decades in that field, given the same advice countless times. Yet it comes to your own pets… Admittedly, despite all of that I was still not fully prepared. I also acknowledge the similarities of when my own mother passed from metastatic breast cancer, and how privileged I was to be holding both of them in my arms as they had their final breath. This weekend has been difficult, my muscle memory from the experience is causing a whole body flashbacks to feeling his body collapse and crumple in my arms, still proving to be such a pronounced visceral moment. I assume (despite how dangerous it is) that NDE means near death experience? I can completely understand those sensations and memorie. I can only hope that when it is my time, I will be blessed with such an experience.

That's a very interesting: That's a very interesting thought, where does our mind go to when it just wanders away?

Thank you.: .
