This is the hard part for me. I would willingly lay down my own life, but I cannot ask those I love to risk their lives or comfort.

Though even typing that sentence, there does come a point when they would have neither and my action to defend what we believe in, may just preserve life and comfort for them.

I hope it doesn't come to having to make that choice and if the time arrives I will need to have that conversation. I don't want to watch them suffer knowing I could have done something and didn't.
