Whooh...
I posted that last one without having seen Cory's previous post...
That's terrible. I know I met a guy a few years back who had a condition which mimicked drunkeness, and if he got locked up for being downtown 'drunk and disorderly' he would miss his medication and nobody would know where he was.
There are some very cruel diseases in the world, or even just conditions, or states people are left in after operations. My wife sometimes voices a desire for her end to come soon and sometimes I think about things and I realise how fortunate I've been to miss out on some of these things. Sure, I have a torn ligament in my knee and it makes walking any distance a chore. And sure, I get pains in the joints that slow me down when it comes to crawling under my cars. But I can still push myself and do these things and I wouldn't do anything less.
But then, my youngest brother has now been dead 11 years, my late wife's been gone well over five and she was nine years younger than myself. My greatest adventures have all been since I turned 65 and they're not over yet. I don't think.
