Sometimes when you stand, you stand alone

We were not walking through this just being "jerks".  We talked with people who loved us well and asked counsel.  But, there are those who disagreed.  Family.  And we were told how they couldn't believe that we would leave him there, no matter how we tried to explain.  We stood alone, but not alone at all.  I believed we loved him well.  And there was never a moment that "I love you too much" didn't preface every heartbreaking word after it.
