Getting old sucks

So my mom is 82, but my mother in law is 102. And one thing if learned is I don’t think I want to live that long. She’s still in her own home but I don’t know how much longer that can go on. She just can’t hardly get around anymore. It’s quite a job getting her out of the house.

Getting old is not for the weak Ricky
As a cancer patient, getting old beats the alternative.
She had a long life. But sadly she passed away Wednesday evening. She said many times she was ready to go. She hated being dependent on Ann to take care of her and she was in constant pain. I’ll miss her. She was like a second momma.
I'm sorry for your family's loss.

Prayers for you and the family, Ricky.
My thoughts are with you and I'll smoke one for her tonight.
Trapped in the People's Communits Republic of Massachusetts.
Condolences to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss, Ann and Ricky
I know, You're a big dog and I'm on the list.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.
The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus, and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight, isn’t it? Now have a look here!"
He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"
The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"
The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?
Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"
The Airbus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."
The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seem to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.
