Hi there,
Regarding Gosling, I understand about her being ill and having being picked up by the rescue in bad shape and maybe will never be 100% as she should and that's too bad. One can always hope!
My aunt who finally died in 2011 was diagnosed around the late 1980's with a brain tumor. She had about 10 other health problems, including failing kidneys, had to use a catheter to empty her bladder etc. They gave her at the time 6 months to live in the 80's.
The spirit of the individual at times makes a huge impact on how long they live and how long they last. My aunt never had perfect health and died with the tumor, but she lived one heck of a life between! She traveled, went on cruises, visited friends. Right before she died, they had to airlift her out of her house because she was starting to go into organ failure and she wanted to put on her makeup first before getting into the helicopter! (Me I would have went in a paper sack!)
I somewhat feel Gosling is the same as my aunt. Gosling seems to have fight in her. At the time my aunt's daughter just had kids, so I think my aunt lived as long as she did to see her grandkids. She also has Ola, so now she probably feels she has someone that cares about her. That makes a huge difference also.
I had been sharing with another person in another post the end line from the movie Blade Runner in which none of us know how much time we have or how much time other's have while we togehter. The main thing is to enjoy it and make it count.
I think you guys are with Gosling and you can tell by the photos.

PS. If that is Gosling with Ola in that pic, she looks pretty good!
