in my life i have experienced many things some of those things i'm not proud of but they happened none the less (hence my earlier statement). i do not want to die. i would like to watch my children grow.as well as i'd like to see my grandchildren. but when my time comes i hope i have the courage to face it as i have done before. the only difference now is i have much, much more to lose if i should face my own mortality. life takes you many places and life changes you in many ways. but death is also a part of life, therefore it could be said life prepares you for death. carpe' di'em
