OMG, Yogi that's horrible. I'm sorry for your friend.

Speaking of outliving your child. My niece (ex-niece- my ex's niece actually), is about 40. She had bone cancer in her leg about 5 years ago or so. Went to chemo off/on and they got the cancer, or so they thought. Long story short, it came back and has now spread thru her body. She is in the hospital with basically no hope. I am close to my ex's family and my heart is breaking for my ex-sister-in-law and her husband, who are just devastated. I remember her as a kid and can't stop thinking about her. I've been crying off/on just imagining their pain. frown
