...I thought I should clarify :) :)
I look at a firetruck like I look at conjoined twins....they were born into this world...dealt an awful fate. (In the case of a firetruck, destined to be hob cobbled & have 300 holes drilled into it, fire bed not just bolted to the frame but literally welded "willy nilly" to the frame in whatever manner necessary to attach it quick-n-nasty)
Like the twins born attached at the skull, it's possible to separate them & make a good life for at least one of them however it's not likely they'll both survive.
We admire the parents...feel terribly sorry for them because it's a difficult life & decision but who the heck wants to live life like that???
There's always going to be the folks that figure the twins should just be left alone to live out their life but boy they go to bed at night & thank their lucky stars that their "child" was born happy & healthy.
Look at Clint & Marti Dixon in IL....proud parents of 2 healthy normal WDX gals. They can mow the field, saw & haul wood...all the things a proud parent takes for granted.
Yes, it's a tough decision for anyone to make & that's where I come in! :)
No emotion....ruthless but we all know down inside what had to be done.
"Ruth's gonna be fine. She'll live out the rest of her life normally with her friends and Dorothy....we Dorothy's in a better place now....."
The End
