Taking care of Conrad was the greatest act of compassion I have ever witnessed. I try to picture the opposite scenario, and it scares me to think that so many elderly die alone without a familiar face around. When you get to a certain point, all you care about is seeing that familiar face in the morning. Conrad might have woken up every morning confused in the last few years, but all of that subsided when he saw you, Dana, or the dogs. It had to have been the ultimate relief for him to not be scared. Being that Conrad was so resilient, the last years would have been terrible for him without you guys around.

Dana is the definition of selflessness, and now that Conrad has passed, I hope she does a few selfish things (she deserves it). Being an atheist makes it even more remarkable. There is probably no reward in the afterlife, and that is why most people do good things, for some hope of long term reward. Dana did them just because she is good person, and asked for nothing in return.

You guys already had my respect, but you increased it tenfold.

I hope I am wrong about the afterlife, and that Conrad and Bunny are sitting in a chair somewhere right now.

I am amazed at the commitment, love, and care you offered Conrad. The gift you gave him few people get to experience.
