I went to the hospital to visit someone that had been in a car accident. While trying to find my way out there were two ladies standing at the foot of a bed an old man was sitting up in it looking around. They said hi and I spoke to them. The old man was the one lady's Dad and she said the doctors had told them he wasn't going to make it through the night and he was scared. He looked scared and I felt for him.
Remember Will Geer from The Waltons? I read when he was in the hospital and they gave him only so much time. He had music playing and singing, shouting in his room. He wasn't afraid, He was ready.
Have you thought about that day? I have.

I have thought about that day although I don't dwell on it. It's inevitable, none of us are getting out of here alive
I hope when my time comes, I can face it with half as much dignity, resolve and peace of mind as my parents did. They both died of cancer and never once did I hear either complain or even hint of being afraid. Their only regret was having to leave us.
When I think of dying I am reminded of Psalms: 23 it says it all.

I don't worry about myself dying. My hope is that it is not too painful or expensive, that my family copes with it well, and that I do not cause them undue expense, or emotional distress.

I am not scared as I have already been to the other side and back.
