My great-grandmother lived to 105 and she was very active until the end. She enjoyed her life, every day of it.
I agree. 83 is not as old as it used to be!
I also have met a lot of people in the last few years who are in their late 70s, 80s, even early 90s who can kick my butt energy-wise...
I wish we could have had Nimoy for a few more years, but at least we had him for 83.
Those who refuse to listen to others when they are young will learn little. :roll:
Read my statement carefully.
Notice the word "but."
Your mom's quality of life was good enough for her that perhaps she didn't want to die and she didn't.
For me, the second I lose my independence is the second I want to die. Whether that is at 70 years old or four freaking hundred years old. Quality of life for me is important, and the second I reach the age that it deteriorates t such a horrific level is the second I will pull my own goddamn plug if I have to.
While we all understand what you feel, especially those of us who are closer to it than you are, please take it to another thread, ok?

Normally celebrity deaths don't move me much, but news of this this morning saddened me. Perhaps because he became an icon of my generation, the cool guy we tried to emulate as we discovered adulthood.
