Twenty three years ago my younger brother dropped dead while he and his pregnant wife were making dinner. He was 34. Since then, I think my attitude towards death has changed. I am 65, in very good health, and am thankful for every morning my feet hit the floor. My younger sister is having a hard time with growing older and I always tell her I' ll take old age over the alternative.

This is exactly what I say to my husband when he complains about getting old. You got two choices Buddy die or grow old 😊

@esmerelda I get very sad when I see older people listed. I really think they were the "Greatest Generation" and cannot imagine surviving depression and all of the hardships they endured. Their leaving is truly our loss.

I so agree!!!!

I don't read the obits and usually learn of co-workers deaths through friends since we were all a close knit group at work. I have lose three close friends who were co-workers during the time I have been retired and during my span of forty one years working in the school system lost many co-workers who I cared about.

I worked at several schools and made a lot of friends and in fact over the years so many people passed through my life who left strong impressions. That goes for people outside of work. I have been blessed knowing so many wonderful people, learning from them and sharing friendships Those who have passed make me sad and I always remember all the great memories I had with that person. I think most of the people I worked with on all levels left a lasting impression . It is sad when I hear of a c-worker passing though , and I cherish their memories.

DH says he makes sure he looks at the obits, as we are at an age where people we went to school with and know could pass away at any time and he wants to be sure he knows about their passing! I told him --- well, it's a blessing that each day goes by and we're not in them!

Like @NEvans2 said.

I "am thankful every morning my feet hit the floor". I choose not to worry what might be and live for the present.

@Sheila P-Burg

Been saying that for many years now. I don't know anyone that can change the past, or predict the future. So the focus should be on the present.
