That is the importance of having a Will, and letting your loved ones know your wishes.

Excellent point Angel...
When hubby and I were first married he was in the Army and had to make out a new will to include me right before he was shipped out for some intense training exercize. When we discussed it, he made it very clear that he would not want to be kept alive in a state like this poor woman is in right now. Well, I was 18 and just wouldn't hear it - I said no way, you'll be out of it hon, it'll be up to me. Of course I was young, naive and very selfish - I thought he was just trying to play tough guy. lol
So he put it in his will. He had it all written out so there would be no misunderstanding.
Later (it's been 16 years now), he ended up keeping it in so that the kids wouldn't have to make that decision someday in the future. So they would see that it was HIS decision, HIS choice and something he believed firmly enough in to have it put down on LEGAL paper.
Of course I'm still selfish when it comes to him, but I'm mature enough now to respect his wishes.... I'm still burying him in the backyard though - lol I'll never be ready to let go.
