Julia was right with what she said To that doctor because it's not right for them to tell us to let them do the worrying when it's not them that has to do the suffering and or the dying. I lost my grandmother a couple months I'm pretty sure that the doctor who was taking care of her probably told her to let them do the worrying and while I know that they meant well I hope that they didn't tell her that because it wouldn't be right for them to tell her that when they weren't the ones who had to do the dying part well they were the ones who had to lose her like we did. Because I know my grandma she was loved by many even by her doctors. Because that's just how wonderful a person she was. But doctors shouldn't tell patients not to worry.

Those were the days❤

This is when TV was GOOD!!!
