This is what I hope for, too. No, long drawn out, with a lot of suffering, first. |

You know. Sometimes I feel I want to be frail and tiny, so someone could just hold me in a big 'ole rocking chair and rock me to sleep. Must be something held over from baby hood when I was a three and a half pound premature infant.LOL. You Are Loved. |

Hi Dixie, I do understand this, too easy to think of, but never the answer, none know what does await. It might be that we all hold hands together when that time comes and have no chance to escape it. Good write my friend, but I think that is life that has its grip on you and you have to stay with us all for years yet. Be well my friend with mind to live and love. Sincerely Rick |
