The way I look at it as long as I keep getting older I can't be old yet. I'll be old when I can no longer age.

While I am not in a hurry to get older I am willing to let it happen. The alternative is not as good right now.

I was told a long time ago that you don't die until you get tired of living. The people who have died that I was close to I have seen the day that they decided to stop living. I saw it with my niece, my dad, and my mom. My mom was the only one that was actually happy about it. My dad was devastated by it and my niece was just relieved. I hope I can be like my mom and be happy about it when I am ready for it. She had completed everything she needed to do and was ready to rejoin dad - she was really looking forward to it. I miss her but I never felt the need to mourn her passing. We spent most of her last year together and had a great time.

What cracks me up is the powder burns you guys all left from shooting too close…..lol
