Crazy Random Fact tag

I was Tagged to do crazy random facts about me so here you go
1. i hate loose teeth. I think they are gross. yuck, ick, ewww.
2. At my job there are a lot of really gross things that don't phase me, such as poo, or pressure sores, or puss oozing from places you never thought possible. But one think that totally phases me is clipping toenails. I think it is so nasty.uhgg
3.along with my sister heidi i hate bloggs that have music. They take forever to load and close. So it's possible if your blog has music that i don't check it much.
4. I love love love being with my husband. i would rather be with him than anyone in the world. He's so funny, and makes me laugh so hard. He also is a shoulder to cry on when i'm an emotional mess which unfortunatly is pretty often.
5.i've been with 3 different people when they've died. Olgie, the nurse knew she was going and didn't want to be alone so she grabbed me to be with them. Melba i was sitting with and could tell she was just hanging on, I didn't know why she wasn't going she was struggling with each breath, so i leaned over and in her ear told her everything was ok and we'd be ok if she needed to go. She took 2 more breaths and died while i held her hand. And Marg well it's a tragic yet funny story of how her family couldn't care for her anymore in their home so i volunteered to help them move her. I knew i'd just be a few minutes helping them move her to the car so i took my dog so we could go to the park afterwords. It was like 100 degrees. I wheeled marg outside to the car she looked at the sun and and took a deep breath. i picked her up to transfer her to the car and between the time i picked her up and the time i sat her down she died. In my arms.

Leisa, you are the kiss of death... Or perhaps the one person people need by their side when they die. I'm going with the latter.
