The best pleasure of being.

No doubt, it’s risky business living into one’s 80s and 90s. Because that greatly increases the risk of dying from Alzheimer’s disease.  Not a pleasant way to go. But consider the trade-off. I would  gladly accept living to a ripe old age and dying ultimately of Alzheimer’s. Sure beats dying before one's time -- of anything.  Give me a long, long and healthy life so I have more opportunity to savor true love. The best pleasure of being.  –Jim Broede
