Sorry, I’m a bit dense.

Is it sad because his mom is dying and he put the necklace on her anyway?

Or that the necklace will allow her to pass away due to her poor health vs. suffering?

6 bonus days of being with mum, is what I'm going with.

My dad almost died of a massive heart attack 5 years ago. It was bad enough that we agreed to a ~~NDA~~ DNR after his 4th crash in the ICU. We joke that he heard us talking and said "screw that" because he didn't crash again and made a recovery.

He's now in the final stages of renal failure, and every extra day we got these last 5 years has been precious.

If you have family you love, go give them a hug. They won't be around forever, even if it feels like it sometimes

*edit: DNR, I'm dumb

And to add my own experience; if you have family you despise, don't worry. They'll outlive the heat death of the universe.

Truth. Coworkers too. The good die young and assholes live forever.

Did you mean a DNR? Or if NDA is correct, what does it stand for in this context?

[–] SirSamuel 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh dang yeah DNR. Sometimes I'm a big ol dumb dumb
