Sorry to hear of your loss. This thread reminded me of my late father's take on that sort of thing. He felt that it was better to live a long, full life and have your children at your funeral versus having to bury one of your own children. I thought of that 3 months ago when my mom passed at age 96 and it was comforting to realize that she never had to bury any of her 4 kids. That would have been devastating to her.
