Respect A Dying Friend By Honoring Their Deathly Desires

Take every opportunity to celebrate each day, hour, minute, and second a dying friend has left to live each one to the fullest in the joys of the present. Honor them for their PITA (pain-in-the-ass) personalities, weird wit, constant repetitions of the same old proudest memories, sweet smiles, and set ways. Do not label them by their disease, signs, symptoms, looks, whines, moans, or demands. Never underestimate the healing power of a hug, a caress, a gentle touch, or a kind word.
