A very sad thing will happen at ten o'clock, Saturday morning. My children's mother, my ex-wife, had a massive heart attack three days ago. She is on life support and in a total vegetative coma. There is brain activity but this may be due to all of the drugs in her system causing feeble activity according to her doctor. Bodily functions are shutting down. My children are in shock at the moment and I am their father and their shoulder to cry on. Though they are adults now, they had to make the tearful decision that has reared its ugly head. My ex-wife's doctor, will remove all life support at ten a.m. tomorrow! According to her "living will," my children had to make the life and death call at some time soon and it was set for tomorrow morning. My normer spouse will either respond or she will not. I feel the hurt for my children in a way that only a father or mother would understand. My ex-spouse and I didn't part as enemys but by mutual agreement and that our family came before all else in spite of our going separate ways in life. I would hope that she would have stood by the children if the same thing or worse would have happened to me. This thing, I would not wish on anyone and especially my children. I am so sick at heart, seeing what my babies are going thru and what this will do to them if and when their mother passes. There are no words to describe this hurt or the painful decision that will cause more anguish to follow, if she doesn't pull thru.

  Dear God help them thru this bad time!
