I am in the 10 percent of USA Citizens living to be 86

[Robert W]

I learned this today. Where are you in the scale? Is your health good enough for you to want to keep living? To show it is not my family at large, so far me and a sister have reached 80 or more. She is younger. I had a younger sister die sooner and 2 brothers who were under 55 who died.
What is your desire?

Big drop off after 76

I'm hoping I take after my Mom's side of the family and not my Dads'. She lived to 92 and had three close relatives who lived to be 100. Not so much on my Dads' side.

My mom died when she was 59. I applaud you for wanting to get more life experiences.

I feel like I worked for 40 years to earn these years of freedom.

It believe that it is irrelevant on what one desires, it only matters how one lives their life and being in the right place at the right time.

Genetics is also a factor.

My Sister who was a year younger than me wanted to die. She did just that.
