he was her knight in shining armour? Maybe she felt she had a good,
long life and now was her time to say goodbye to this life. Should we
feel sorry for Muhammed Ali because he has Parkinsons disease? Or
that that Jody is blind? How do we know that they haven't embraced
and accepted what life has dealt them? When we become sentimental we
tend to see the world, and the people in it, the way we think it
