Same here, Patty, minus the dogs but with a cat. Met my wife in 1953, married in '56, and we are still enjoying life together, along with our 4 kids, all in their 60's and a trail of grands and great grands.
Lately I've been welcoming it, even waiting for it, but I don't want to be. My 50's were kind of rough and I wanted my 60's (I turned sixty autumn of last year) to be so much better. It's a bit rocky so far, but I am working on, trying for a great decade.
I want some really good drugs that make me euphoric. I think we need to accept death and then make our dying as pleasant as it can be.
Thank you Starsong.Happy Anniversary to you both!
Congratulations Dave. You must be doing something right. That’s almost 70 years which is a long time. How many grandchildren and great grandchildren do you have?Same here, Patty, minus the dogs but with a cat.

Life has treated us well !
May every moment, every process over your time of living, be a calm, fear free painless process. And filled with loving, close friends.
I think this is the more concerning thing for most people. I believe that people would fear death a lot less if we knew it would be painless...
My sister will be 90 April 17, 2025, me, 89 April 26. I keep looking over my shoulder to see if father death is creeping up on me.
We both have some health concerns. Especially my sister.

I came close in my 60s a couple of times, Holly. But, my immune system gave whatever real, hell, so here I am. Deep in DNA and RNA studies.
Yeah, I know the feeling. My upbringing ruined my selfesteem even more so after at 6 years old I had a pedophile stepfather who gave me an std. Each day I hope I'll not have physiological awful/scary anxiety, have slowed essential tremor shaking, the elephant sized swelling in my calves, ankles& feet shrunken, and no more energy destroying fatigue. No such luck. Boo hoo. But, I still look to find humor in life.I can't go yet... I've had a horrible life, so I have to wait until some good stuff haappens before I can even think about going...
Congratulations to both you and your wife Dave, you both are blessed to have each other and your family shares your joy.....that's wonderful, hugs.Same here, Patty, minus the dogs but with a cat.

the thing is every night all of us 'die' when we sleep... we know nothing of this world when we're asleep, we don't miss our family, our friends, our home , and that's how I feel death will be...
