I find I have only begun to prepare the family for our death.  The wife and I have a lot of work to do, communication with the kids and with each other.  She asked me to quit working and then find a place for us to die and get bury at.  Our goal is not to enter a nursing home.  Many do not and I know many who at best spent some time in comfort care before passing on.There is a couple in town who both turned 98 this spring.  Every evening at 5 they drive to the bar, she drinks coke and he a hard drink, they have a pizza and then drive home.  Hopefully one of us is able to care for the other if need be.  db-2- - - Updated - - -Broken back only wish I could give you more than one thumps up.We both got old and seen to much.  db</blockquote>
