I do understand what you mean Diane. We'd probably all like to pass gently to the other side in our sleep.
I think it horrifies most of us to think we may end up in diapers in assisted living.
But one can't reach into the future to see what awaits us.
We can only live in the now, enjoy what we have, hope for the best, and trust in a Supreme Being to take us gently.
