My father died at the age of 85. He had cancer for the last 5 years of his life. No chemo. Refused it. He lived a full life until the last month. He never thought of himself as old or a cancer patient. Never. He started actively dying within two weeks of his death
Had he taken the chemo he'd have been dead in 6 months.
I hope I get to go the way your father did. Live a full life all the way to the end. Some suckers end up taking years to die, rotting away in a hospital or care facility having their asses wiped by uncaring workers, being fed with an IV. Not me. I'd rather eat the muzzle of a .357 before I ended up in one of these horrific places.
Well, when we realize we are one amongst billions who went before us. As many as stars in the sky who all lived full lives with children they loved. Had experiences they cherished. Were breathing, feeling people, our lives are put in perspective. Our own arrogance is what makes life and death, or even aging hard to accept. Intellectually I know this but like you itтАЩs hard for me to accept too
Love the comment. I don't want to get old simply because I can't do the things I used to enjoy, physical things, that is. I love to draw and paint and it is getting hard to hold a pencil for long periods of time. However, I wouldn't go back to being a youth again. No way. Too hard. Too many harsh lessons learned. There is beauty in growing old and slowing down. Society keeps telling us to be young with all these drugs that jack up testosterone levels and sex libido and so forth. There is beauty in living a long life and then getting sick, dying, and leaving it all to our posterity.
Biden reminds me of what we know of hitler. He ran away from his comeuppance into a bunker but died anyway. Death the ultimate equalizer.
Death and old age are the ultimate equalizers.

The chemo doctors themselves often refuse chemo.

I agree but canтАЩt abide a .357

Jeeze I wish I could be there with you and know who you are.

So are the coming 100-pound hailstones.
Don Juan Matus often reminded Carlos of that. Poetically.
