You Lose It!
However there are a lot of people that baby their loved ones simply because... Do they love them? Do they care? Yet they smother... When they're there... And when they're not? They hire people to smother them... But not everyone smothers...
People have to realize that the population is aging. I'm aging! You're aging! However we all age differently... Some age gracefully and some age dramatically and with less grace... But regardless of how you age outwardly, it doesn't represent the internal you.
Think about it... People who are in comas are said to understand everything said to them so wouldn't that mean that people no matter how they appear may still be able to understand what is going on?
Don't demean or belittle someone just because you think they have no brain... Opt for quality of life! Do you want to be treated the way you treat someone else even when you love them? "A mind is a terrible thing to waste..."
