Tom over at Disputations had a good post on preparation for death that prompted a bit of reflection over here. It's commonplace to hear someone attempt to comfort the family of a person who has died, "He never knew what hit him," "It happened so suddenly he didn't feel a thing."
Deeply horrifying, that. I'm hoping for a long slow death full of the preparation Tom recommends. Come to think of it, I've been dying since the day I was conceived (at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, as I recently learned from my Mom 8^O), so I suppose I ought to get off my lazy *ss and start preparing now :-)
OK. My wife just read this and the Mayo Clinic bit surprised her. I came along after my parents had been married for seven years, so she wondered whether they were there for infertility treatment. No, that was the trip in which my Dad was finally diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and apparently they had some free time together :-)
Ahem.
