The beauty and joy that Rose gives is a gift for those of us who are not aware that we let sadness control our lives.

Who are you, how do you know?

[@gusruckus]

@@rickyanthony I'd like you to respect my privacy during this time.

[@rickyanthony]

@@gusruckus You might well be a troll, you are sharing information many will find very sad and you are not family. No privacy concern here, do the girl justice by letting us know it is reliable info.

[@gusruckus]

@@rickyanthony You probably don't realize the grief you are causing here. It's not funny to me, and this isn't a hoax. We miss her. If you cared enough to do any amount of research here, you would know that AS can come with a number of complications. Also there is in fact a privacy concern. Please move on with your life and let this family grieve in peace.

Nope. That's pseudobulbar affect. Very different from this.
