Quality of life. If you feel she is happy, has spirit and still enjoys life
you wait. Once you see that sparkle dissappear, trust what you feel and do
what you belive is right. You live with her and from day to day see how she
interacts so you are the only one who can make that decison and know when it
is right. Best of luck to you.
