i am 62 years old. my father died at 30, in a barroom fight. my
mother
died suddenly, simply falling to the ground, while walking beside my
eldest
son. i have never seen anyone die, and i never wish to do so.

i wish we could all live forever. but that won't happen, will it. i
think my most earnest hope for the future is that i will die gracefully.


i think that to write this here is a mistake.

If ever ROFF wanted a motto.......

but i believe that there
are some of us who need to know that a graceful death will be appreciated
by
those who are still alive. it may give us strength.

No mistakes noted.

odd, isn't it, that the one thing nobody really wants to talk about brings
out so much simple eloquence in so many?
