I just want to make sure because Andrea's death, as painful and sad as it was, it was so beautiful.

Andrea wanted to be surrounded by friends and family at home.

And that is exactly what happened.

And as I said, anything was on the table to talk about, laugh about.

And it made me realize, look, I don't want to die.

Andrea didn't want to die.

But it's coming for all of us.

And I've spent so much time trying to kick death away, trying to eat healthy, exercise, like I'm running.

And again, I don't want to die.

But

What has changed with me is the real understanding.

It's coming.

So I want to have a more open dialogue, not just with myself, but even with my kids.

Not to scare them, but just I want them to know I've had the greatest life in the world.

And I've had a lot of tough stuff, but...

I don't want to die, but if I do, I've done everything and more.

And I want my kids to know that.

And I want to have a special way that I go if I have the choice.

I know not everyone has that choice.

But...
