I just read your post and wanted to say how much I admire you and your husband's courage. I, personally, have a similar point of view. We're all going to leave this planet eventually. I'm 75 with a 4.5taa, and am not going to go through open heart surgery when and if it grows to a life threatening level. I'm enjoying the time on earth allotted me and I'm grateful for each day. I also have a very strong belief that we live on, after we shed this body, and experience life on a higher vibratory level.
