This is one of the most honorable posts I have yet to see here on STEEM or anywhere. Losing a friend is extremely painful and I can imagine even more so when it is their will to die slowly and in their own terms.
Paul is definitely a courageous man. I had not heard of him before, but I do highly admire courage as it is so rare these days.
May his family and friends find counsel. May he also be welcomed into the Lord's table and find everlasting peace.
