My great grandmother seems to be happy when we are sitting and talking in the hospital.
My father and I are under the impression she has a couple years left if she's willing to submit her body to the rigors of modern medicine.
My aunt seems to want it to be over.
My great grandmother changes her opinion depending on her pain level, doctor input and/or company.
It's strange to imagine being at an age where you can literally choose life or death.
