On December 10, 2007 my close family member died in my arms and I was their caretaker. BTW they were ARIES too! Watching this I could really identify with the emotions and the shear strength a human can have. I feel a sense of peace hearing your perspective. All the different roles you took and the stages of decline were completely identifiable to me. I especially understood the part of sometimes our purpose in life is just breathing. THANK YOU!
