You know what’s kind of funny about this?
When my Dad was terminal, his doctor said that he should be brought into the emergency room any time he was in too much pain and they would start chemo again and see what they could do.
My dad said no and died happily at home.
Sometimes people choose what he is proposing all by themselves.
I think like your father did. At some point in my life, barring an accident or heart attack, it is just going to be my time to go. I don’t plan on spending what little I do have or putting my family thru a bunch of grief and misery trying to wring a few months or a year or so out of it. I would rather my family have my things and remember me for who I was.
