It will obviously be the last thing I do, so I sure don't want to sleep through it. I have thought about this before and thought it would be nice to be quietly sitting on my porch one afternoon overlooking my fields and reflecting that I have had a good life and that my children and grandchildren have a good start in life. I think I would like to do this alone. Considering my current situation, it does not look like these circumstances are likely to happen. Maybe I can at least be at peace with the world.

My worst nightmare is to waste away slowly. I don't ever want to be a burden on anyone. My Mom had dementia, bad. One day she got up, went over and kissed my Stepdad, told him she loved him then went into the bathroom. She never came out. Heart attack. I'm convinced that she felt it coming and went in the bathroom so he wouldn't have to see it happen. I like to believe that her last act was one of kindness.

That's always stuck with me,and I would like to go like that,climb up to my favorite spot in New Hampshire over looking the Connecticut river with that same 30 30 and just look at the beautiful view and just drift off.that would be nice.

Spent enough time volunteering in some, but I won’t die in one. I won’t. Already told my son and my woman that if I ever get so far gone that my only choice is to go into one of them, I’ll just take a drive north and go get lost in the woods. The bears can have me.

With an extra hole in my head. Failing that, I’ll happily go like my great grandpa, sitting in my chair at 90 plus, looking at the mail, and lights out. I get terminally ill, I hope I am strong enough when I find out to beat Fireball2 to that bear. Or some commies. Got nothing against the bear, but he is likely to put up a better fight.

So far I've come up with quick, painless, and broke the day after my passing. I'd prefer to avoid the gloom of prolonged sickness. I think passing in your sleep seems the most appealing. What have you thought - too dark? too scary? Just don't want to think about it - all the alternatives suck? Simple enough. Of a heart attack at the age of ninety-two after learning that I have filled in the entire Australian ladies volleyball team. Pretty sure that has covered all the angles. These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.
