Xen's Mixed Bag

wow...finally a place to say the things on my mind...here i will explore and examine issues i think are meaningful and relevant...well maybe not always relevant, but u catch my drift...

i am planning for Momma Eva's 101st birthday...she is doing well and is enjoying every day here on earth...she is in excellant health and in good spirits...

sometimes i wonder though...i think ,why would someone want to live to be 100 or more...of course, if u enjoy good health why not live as long as possible , right?

it takes me back to my birth mother, Edith...she had ALS and was given two years to live...she only really lived for two years after that diagnosis but she fought to the end to stay here...not wanting to go to the unknown ...u could sense the fear ...feel it...it was almost alive in her room at the very end ...the fear...and there was nothing i could say or do to help...so i sat by her hospital bed and rocked and waited with her till i had to leave her to go home to California from her New Jersey bedside...she died a week later
