But most of my friends are older. I have very few friends who are older. My age, I'm 81. Right.

Well, I'm hoping that Aunt Sarah, who is my mother's great aunt, and nobody liked Sarah, by the way. She was a despicable person. But she lived to be 100. So I do want that dream that lets you live to be 100. I think it'd be interesting to see what's happening at 100.

Things are going to fall apart. And so that's, again, one of the things that you can hear in my breathing. It's because of the pneumonia. Okay. Oh, and that'll go away. This will get well. But I'm not afraid of, you know, being blind. I have a friend who's losing her sight and it makes her very uncomfortable. I think it's what an opportunity to now see the world in a different way. I mean,

Look at Ray Charles or Stevie Wonder. So you say, well, they couldn't see, but look at what they created. So obviously they saw something. And I'm not afraid. As I said, 80 kicked my butt. I mean, if it could be wrong with me, it was wrong with me. And I was thinking, okay, well, you know, I had cancer. I had lung cancer. And I had breast cancer.

And I said, whatever happens, I don't want to read. I don't want to be sitting. Well, I'll be sitting in hell because I don't think I'm going to heaven. But I don't want to be sitting in hell. And they said she fought cancer for 20 years. I'm not fighting any disease. I'm learning to live with it. And I want the disease to live with me.

So every morning that I wake up, me and cancer, we're in good shape. And I said, well, let's take a shower. Go about our day. Let's do our life. Yeah. And one day we won't. And then that means that I'll be transitioned. I'll be in another place.

And that's what, you know, I'm talking about my grandmother, but that's what I think about grandmother, about Sister Althea, who was my eighth grade teacher, and I loved her so much. I don't think they're not dead because they will never be forgotten for me.

And I find myself, if I'm not careful, and sometimes even if I am talking to them or they're talking to me, you know, you're never alone when you have somebody like that around you.
