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.

that's a very valid point. Hopefully if I get to that stage I will no longer have my marbles and won't care.

When I was younger I was told that my kids would care for me...very doubtful

If it comes to it ------------ I'm thinking of telling the kids, "OK, I've got x-number of dollars left and a house which is worth some money" - do you want it or shall I give to an extended living facility"? Of course, I might end up in a basement somewhere.............. :22yikes:
