expecting death 

# posted by Supreme Monkey Overlord @ 8/01/2005 03:01:00 PM

no, i'm not depressed and thinking of dying myself or aything, its just that i have a lot of older relatives who will soon be kicking the bucket. yesterday i visted my relatives in north haven who i stayed with breifly when i had my first job. they're both about 88 years old and have had multiple physical and mental problems. they both are doing alright now but come on, they're 88. most of my dads side of the family is well into thier 80's and most of whom are just killing time so to speak. its sad because, well they're family and old people die. most of the family kind of expects a lot of them to go at around the same time.

on my moms side, her mother isn't doing so hot right now. she's been breaking a lot of bones and is on a bunch of little medications she doesn't like. my sister stopped by there today on her way back home and said she just found out she had broken 3 more ribs. can't be good.

i guess part of growing up/older is moving from one generation to another and watching older people pass on. i guess i really haven't ever had to deal with it because i haven't had that many relatives die (knock on wood). i'm not complaining i just hope that suddenly i'm not faced with a bunch of funerals to go to. maybe by talking about it i've jinxed the whole thing and they'll all live till 100. the women on my dad's side tend to be very old. oh well.

this wasn't the most exciting of topics, so to lighten the mood here's some zombies.
