Journey's end

Is there anything one could wish for than a beautiful ending?

Is there anything more beautiful than a dignified end surrounded by loved ones?

A whole lifetime of life... how do you make you that it does not become overshadowed by unbearable pain and untold suffering?

Those are the questions I have been asking myself, and asking others around mum. With mum's life signs fading, with her health and body gradually descending into a sorry and uncontrollable state of dilapidation, there are few things we as loved ones can manage or seek to change. But we can at least plan for an outcome that will hopefully defy all convention, and that will turn a solemn and sad final act into an experience, into a process, of beauty and dignity.

This is where the objectives of Operation Eternal Happiness and Operation Reunion converge...
