Over the past few years, I had four people I worked with pass away and one guy had a stroke at 57.
My mom has cancer and I was being reprimanded for taking off work to take her for treatment. I elected to take an early retirement.
Something my grandmother told me years ago, if you live long enough, you're going to go to a lot of funerals.
Life is way too short to not live it to the fullest.
Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets
