I have a bit of thought about this old age issue... my grandma passed away in her 90s, and her last few years were bed-ridden and couldn't recognised most if not all of the things. It took a lot of effort to take care of her, but I'm not complaining much... I love my grandma afterall. However, the experience gave me the thought that I would rather die sooner if I am not able to stay reasonably healthy and consciousness when I'm old... not being too pessimistic, but the idea is deep in my mind... I just don't want my family to go through the hassles when the time comes. Off course, the ideal situation is that I can stay healthy and thoughtful when I'm old, but we can't really tell until we reach there. joseph, happy belated birthday to your grandmother.

She's already bedridden and doesn't recognize things so much, but I'm still proud to see her live this long. Early this month was my grandmother’s 99th birthday.
