When the discussion turned to aging parents, to where they are fitting into my life at this time, she of course asked about my father's plans for his future. He hasn't any and cannot be convinced that now is the perfect time to make some. If you truly believe you are never going to die, you don't have to make any plans, you just keep on living. Next question then concerned his living will. We shared a chuckle and then a serious turn, "do you have a DNR on him?" D-N-Noooo, I don't!! I know what he really wants and he trusts me to do the right thing at the right time. What, resuscitate him and sentence him to another few hours, days, weeks, months of years of the tiny slice of life that he lives? Prolong his wait for that reunion with the love of his life? No. It will not be happening. Not on my watch.
Perfect timing. I have to make my own plans. Discussion with husband time but more than that.....I have to make it abundantly clear, put it in writing where it will be seen. If I give up the game, do NOT, do not, not, not, "R" me! Leave me alone. Let God do His thing. Don't mess with anything. Especially if I make it to my late eighties. I don't want to be Rrr'd unless.........

Nah, on second thought, just leave me alone, I repeat, leave me alone and DNR anything. If you do, I will haunt you every night when I finally don't R anymore. I think I just described Heaven and all the things I expect to find there and it's all looking pretty good. So, please let me die. Thank you.
Now, where do I sign?
Amen!
