Death is a part of the cycle. You're just a pup. At 80 I scan the obit
page in my local (what's left of it) newspaper for people I know/knew.
And I note people younger than me have fallen off their twig. OTOH, my
good friend and fellow chilli cook, Les, is 85 and just got married to
a *much* younger woman (mid-60s).

I is had several near misses including having my blood glucose crash to
the low 40s and having almost bled out (internally) due to an ulcer I 
didn't know about that was caused by the Alleve I was taking for my
osteoarthritis pain.   FEH!

I'm just enjoying it as it goes on.
