please remind me of this if I am not accepting my fate gracefully. Point out to me when I am burdening others or adding to the suffering of those I love. Help me to realize that just because I am old, weak and perhaps in pain it does not give me a right to abuse those that are caring for me and trying to make my life a little easier, especially if in doing so it relieves them a tiny bit.
I cannot imagine what it will feel like to relinquish my independance when I am no longer able. I am sure there will be mourning and the achiness that comes with grief, but I hope I am gracious above all things. Stubborness is not attractive in the very young or very old, if it really ever it is at all. Long life is not all it's cracked up to be I'm pretty sure.
