He said "That's good news." He had gangrene in his left leg, was 94, and other medical issues.
Everyone should do it.
My friend was a huge Bengals fan. When the priest gave him his last rites, his last words were “Who Dey”.Everyone, even the priest laughed
“Agent Smart, what were his last words?”
“Get your knee off my chest!”
“Hold my beer and watch this!”
The good don’t fear death. The evil clutch to life as long as possible because they know where they’re going in the afterlife.
And for others, its just another day?

A Dream Within a Dream
By Edgar Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow —
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep — while I weep!
O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

“For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.” - 1 Corinthians 13:12
Probably the most important thing to communicate to them as they pass is “Thank You”.
“I don’t mind dying...I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” -Yogi Berra
My father mentored me on dying. He had been a US Army combat veteran who was involved with two amphibious landings on two Japanese held island in the Pacific during WW2. He had faced death before, so he had a different perspective. He had relished and enjoyed life after surviving WW2. He had no regrets.
One of the things he said shortly before his death, was that “It is time for me to experience this next step.”
In my last visit with him before his death, I told him about all the wonderful things we had done in my childhood, some of the great things he had done with my children (his grandchildren) and how proud I was of his accomplishments.
The elderly man (who my dad knew) who shared the nursing home room told my mom, when she collected Dad’s final possessions told her that dad had been so happy and peaceful when he passed just after I left that final day.
Posting this story is valuable, as it will hopefully help some who read it to mentor their children and spouses on both living a good life and dying a good death.
Back in 1998, my Dad suffered a fall that caused significant brain bleed. His last words to me as he took my hand and pulled me closer to him were, “I can still break your damned arm!”
Certainly not the Abrahamic blessing I would have liked. I’ll have a talk with him in a few years when I get there.
Since we’re on the topic, I think some of you may find this article thought provoking as written by a great mind, Gordon Duff.
