"My mom looked at me and said, 'You put me here to die.' ... Those words are ones that Ive returned to often since she passed away."
"All I knew was that she wasnt going to take her final breath in a hospital."
"'Ive had a wonderful life, and now I cant live it the way I want to,' he explained. 'So Im done. And thats OK.'"
