I feel ya there. I think I'd much rather not know get ill and die. If my dad hadn't been diagnosed and "treated" he would have been around at the very least months longer. |
Same thing with my dad, in hindsight he'd have been better off not knowing. He dealt with the knowing pretty well, a lot better than I would.
When people tell me that somebody they know has died of a heart attack these days, I honestly feel like saying 'Congrats, that's great news!'. You barely know what hit you. My grandfather was at our house visiting as he did most nights after a day at the racetrack betting horses, drove the short distance home, went upstairs to get ready for bed - 10-15 minutes after he left our driveway we got the call he was gone.
