[QUOTE="covknit, post: 1503691, member: 346585"] Bradleys story is indeed tragic but so many awful things happen. I was once in hospital for 6 weeks. I was lucky about 75% of patients did not make it through. Amongst them was a young lad aged about 10 whose entire body was shutting down. By the time I met him he had very little movement available to him just a facial tic and his eyes. He could speak volumes with those eyes. He knew what was happening to him but he was always smiling. Then one afternoon he was not there. I am reminded of something I was once told about thinking the grass is greener for someone else. Everyone has challenges in life no matter how dreadful we feel our own circumstances we are sure to accept our personal burden and consider ourselves lucky if we ever found the truth about what any one else has to contend with.
