12. I think it is only natural to feel our own mortality.

I think maybe those of us with things like cancer feel it a bit more than others.

I don't know if that feeling is us sensing the end is near.

I think maybe it's how we come to terms with it. The acceptance comes from all the pondering.

I also think people know their own bodies well enough to know when something has changed.

I'm still working it out. Sorry.

My dogs stayed by my side during my worst days. They were very comforting.
