I know they have a good life and it's a lot better for them than sitting at home alone. Still, being in a nursing home basically means your life is coming to an end and that's what I hate to think about. I guess when you're in that situation you can't think of it that way though.

I hope when I go it's really quick, or I'm demented so I don't know what's going on.

I also wonder if when you get old you come to some sort of acceptance regarding your mortality.
