I'm driving and offering rides to many people over the week. But when I can't drive anymore I don't have anywhere to go. Feet and legs don't work like they used to. Heart doesn't pump very well.

I'll be damned if I have to live in a concrete shell just because we're not supposed to take control of our final moments.
