aren't these people wonderful. We have a guy in town just like her. He has his coffee at 2 pm everyday at McD's, then walks the city collecting various things for various organizations, money from bubble gum machines, etc. WWII vet., flew over Germany as a photo recon. expert.

The elderly are cool.

Sadly, I know a little lady who's body is too busy being old and sick to do what her heart, mind, spirit and even her tired body wants to do.

"I hope I die before I get old" The Who

Poppy | 5:44 p.m. Nov. 12, 2009

Hey, Ernest T. Bass. I hope I die before I get real old as well. Who wants to have their diapers changed? I want to die fast and quick. Also, don't want my spouse to have to struggle either. We would prefer to leave this earth together if Gods willing.
