> I suppose dying is a normal part of life. Everybody does it, but sometimes the timing stinks. To me, the older people get, the less sad it becomes. I guess I can say this because I'll be 66 in August. But when a young person dies, it's hard to understand. I always think of all the things they missed. Older people have had a chance to enjoy life. > Just fasten you seatbelt, watch your weight and stay away from tobacco, so you can enjoy as many years as I have. (And I'm still having fun.) > Howard
What's even worse is when someone decides to set the timing for themselves... a couple years ago one of my good friend's older sister committed suicide, and the effect it had on my friend was enormous, it was really sad. When someone dies of natural causes, at least you aren't left with a "what did I do wrong?" feeling. I must admit that I've considered suicide a couple times for a few seconds... it's never gone beyond that, though, and I know I have a lot to live for, so I'll never actually kill myself, and I do fasten my seatbelt, watch my weight (what teenage girl doesn't?) and stay away from tobacco, and I hope to enjoy a lot more years!
