She didn't speak English very well either, so if you weren't around her for years it was hard to understand her. She was awesome. And no, I'm not afraid of death one bit. She taught me that.

That's amazing, and I agree with her when she says "Living this long isn't all it's cracked up to be." I'm 32 and I have many questions about life. I don't WANT to live to be 70, honestly. Unless I'm fully functional ... Well, we have no choice. Everyone dies. It's how we chose to live in between ..
