Now for something serious.

thats how my grandmother was
grandpa died when i was 7, grandma lived almost 30 years after that, and she only got confused the last few years

the entire 3 decades she was waiting for grandpa though

when she finally passed, the notification mentioned that Grandpa finally came to get her
That's would be a bad way to go as well Ahoey. It was a blessing in disguise. Sorry for your loss my friend. My mom was in the early stages of dementia and pneumonia took her before it got too bad. She was slowly sinking. My dad died of a massive heart attack at 67 so fortunately he didn't have to go through stuff like that.
Yes agreed everyone has an expire date just don’t understand why some have to suffer for so long before the date arrives. I think it has a lot to do with man meddling with mom nature. If left to natures ways I wouldn’t be here had an aneurism in my brain at 32 years Dr West operated and everything still works if this would have happened 10 years earlier the technology wouldn’t have been there. Sometimes somethings are better left to mom nature.
