Perchoutofwater Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I really don't care as long as I can take care of myself. When I lose my self sufficiency I want to go ahead and die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryTheRock Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 My wife just read what I wrote and said she will buy me a sailboat today and I can head for the open seas tomorrow.  Looks like FBJ is going to live until...about....now  Assuming my kids were grown and self-sufficient, I would want my wife to die before I did.

Actually, my thought behind that is that my wife is probably a better parent than I am, so it would be best for my boys if they had her if I wasn't around rather than having me with her not around.

MikesVikes Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 My maternal grandfather died the day they took him to the nursing home. He wasn't having none of that. But his wife, my grandmother lived longer. She didn't have any legs due to diabetes for many years. She couldn't communicate because of a stroke. The only word that she could say was yea. They both lived a good and long life but the end was not the same for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikesVikes Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I would like to see all of my grandkids coming into existence and turn into adults before I go. I don't know how old that will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I don't really have a number in mind... I agree with the sentiment of not wanting to be a burden at some point... or at least an unbearable one, since some (particuarly my wonderful wife) would probably argue that I'm already a burden sometimes. My grandma (last living grandparent) is getting to the point where she can't live in an "assisted living" facility, much less on her own. My wife's grandma is in arguably even worse shape... can't remember anything, wanders out of her building at all hours of the night (to the point where they basically have to lock her up), etc. Things that like are tough to watch (or hear about), and even though I would never in a million years say that someone is "better off dead", I can say with a fair amount of certainty that I don't want to put my wife/kids/grandkids in that position some day... the position where they have to make the difficult decisions that my parents (and my mother-in-law and her sister) are having to make. Taking care of your parents when they don't even know who you are must be bad enough... Making the decision to basically lock them up for the rest of their lives almost seems worse. Â It's funny, though, when I was younger, I was absolutely certain that I didn't want to live to see "old age." Coincidentally, that's probably the period of time when I was the toughest on myself, physically... simply no regard for the consequences of my actions, at times. The older I get, though (and I'm "only" 35 at this point), the more I understand why my parents and grandparents have always encouraged my brothers and I to simply take care of ourselves. Nobody wants to die young, but nobody wants a loved one who is YOUNGER than them to die young, either. That's probably what it boils down to for me... There are certain people in my life that I simply don't want to outlive. First and foremost, my wife (and kids, even though we don't have any yet... first is due in two months). Secondly, being the oldest of four boys, I can not fathom losing one of my younger brothers. And, it pretty much goes without saying that I don't want to see them lose a chlid or spouse, either. If I can avoid all of the above, and live to see the Vikings win a SB, I think I'll "die a happy man" (or as close to one as is possible).
