DEATH AND DYING
I'm optimistic that I will reach the ripe old age of 100!
When it comes to the actual dying, it is my greatest hope that I live a long life and go to bed one night and not wake up the next day...
But if I get some type of terminally illness i fully plan to take matters in my own hands, and not suffer or put my family thru a long illness. But i will go out in style, A red Ferrieri (rental!!) over a cliff in Hawaii. That would be my "Death with Dignity"
