What a beautiful dream to make true. I hope you get your chance to fulfill it.

"How do you even respond to this"
You don't. The ignorant should be educated, but we have to realize that it is not our job to entertain every insane uttering and engage it in a serious manner. There are times you have to simply walk away and allow someone to be wrong.

One of my favorite scenes in that movie, I used to cackle like crazy when I was a kid. Named one of my best DnD characters Fritz.

I had a good run. And while this latest has been a hiccup in that record, I don't intend to let it be the end. Luck willing, I'll go another few decades without another hospital stay or operation. I know that's unlikely in reality, but it is, to a large degree, within my control.

All I know is that I don't want my children to see me the way I saw her, again and again, in and out of the hospital, continuously hooked up to machines and tubes and wires. I made it to 49 years old before I ever spent a night in the hospital, and now, after 2 weeks, had my first surgical procedure

I do not intend to make the same mistake. I am taking this as seriously as a . . . well, you know. No more fucking around. I began to make changes in my lifestyle months ago, so I expect staying that course will, perhaps, be easier for me than it was for her. I hope so.

I have now had my first heart attack and bypass surgery two years of age after she first had hers. She didn't take very good care of herself after the fact, dying only 15 years later. That's something I honestly always held against her, even after all of these years.

I lost my mother 19 years ago, and still, this is never exactly an easy time of year in that regard. But this year has hit different. The heart disease that killed her has now made a spectacular entrance into my own life, and I must now come to terms with that reality.

Oh, I can think of two reasons immediately that don't need to be spelled out.
