My great aunt lived to 105. On her 100th birthday she said to me, "Johnny, living this long isn't all it's cracked up to be." She was ready to go then. She lived another five years and was sharp as a tack mentally. Everyone that was her peer/friend was gone and she only had people in our family that were much younger. We celebrated birthdays with her and brought her to family functions, but I truly believe she felt out of place (she wasn't) even thought we loved her dearly. She didn't speak English very well either, so if you weren't around her for years it was hard to understand her and I think that was a barrier to the young family members. She was awesome. And no, I'm not afraid of death one bit. She taught me that.
