In response to Lillie McFerrin’s Five Sentence Fiction.
It was an easy decision once the doctor’s told her how much pain she would suffer in a few months. The move to the coast of Oregon went smoothly. She found it comforting that she could pick the day that her life would end. From healthy mother and wife to a women with a sickness she could not control. The sun sets over the horizon for the last time for her final sunset.
Oh Danny Boy! 
Sad yet not so sad. Final sunsets should be beautiful and peaceful.

I applaud Oregon for having these die with dignity laws. I hope we have something similar here in the UK soon. Well written and moving.
