My husband of 43 years and I never wanted children so we have no immediate family. My husband will be 70 his next birthday and I will be 68. We have taken care of both sets of parents as they lived to be 86, - 93. Our Mothers were in the nursing home here and this is our hometown. We have money to do whatever we want, but at this time, we do not want to do much. We both have had great, enjoyable careers, we have traveled to just about every country in the world, had things that we wanted all of our lives. Neither of our parents were wealthy at all, so we have had the satisfaction of doing well. Today in the news, there was a story about a terminally ill couple, married 61 years) and the husband killed his wife and was going to kill himself, but the gun misfired. That is a shame, isn't it? That their lives had to end that way. Not good, in my opinion. I have some good friends who live in Oregon and they have a right to die act or whatever they call it and under some circumstances, I have no problems with it.
