This is the question I was asked by my 7 year old in the car today. It was just the two of us which is pretty rare. But that is definitely a question you don't expect. So i told her something pretty boring (If I'm young I hope it is cancer so I have time to say good-bye and if I'm old a massive stroke would be pretty good.) So after a little discussion (Apparently, my mom said she'd like to die eating ice cream out of the container with my dad. Love that!) I asked her, how do you want to die? "I want to go for a walk at night in a beautiful place with my husband." Isn't that awesome? I asked if I could come too because it sounded good to me. Sure, she said. Then a few seconds later, "But Mom, I think you'll already be dead by the time I'm old." Moment over, but I hope I remember that forever.

Oh, my gosh - that tale is too full of great thoughts!
"Moment over" for sure. I am cracking up.
Now, gotta consider my answer to that question.
I hafta say - your choice of "massive stroke" is a landsight more depressing than that of your mother and daughter. Must be the medical in ya. :)
By the way, care to share with inquiring minds what you searched to find that picture of the old folks walking away from the camera?
Sure, google images "old people walking in a garden". I have a mind that thinks like google. It is a talent that no one appreciates...
Well, I appreciate it! You're awesome!! :)
And now I'm laughing again.
