Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for June 03, 2010
Transcript:
Phil: Was Tom sick for a long time before he died? Val: Less than a year. Phil: That must have been hard. Val: You know, he stayed so cheerful. He didn't want us to be sad. Val: So we pretended not to be sad, and he pretended not to be sick. Phil: Did that work? Val: Until it didn't.
I hope to have a brief and less painful death. I have 4 children who will all be in their 50s in a few years, and I currently have a 1300 Cal/day diet and an hour workout every other day, as well as doing most everything in my house. I have many other activities on the outside, and take no medications- so I hope to have a decade or more with no problems ;-)
