I feel lucky... I have tremendous support so I've never felt alone.

Who has the right to tell me that I don't deserve this choice?

There is a difference between a person who is dying and a person who is suicidal. I do not want to die. I am dying.

We all just realized that I am terminally ill and I'm dying and I would just prefer to die with less pain and less suffering.

I won't live to see the death-with-dignity movement reach critical mass, but I call on you to carry it forward.

I hope to enjoy however many days I have on this beautiful Earth and spend as much of it outside as I can surrounded by those I love.

Having the choice at the end of my life has become incredibly important. It has given me a sense of peace during a time that otherwise would be dominated by fear, uncertainty and pain.
