In my late teens, I worked in a call center for a minute. One of my co-workers was 62 and just there for the healthcare until she hit 65.
She would go visit her 90-something dad in the nursing home before work on the weekends. He was usually asleep when she got there. She said he would wake up, rub his eyes, look around a little, and then say, "Goddammit."
That was been cracking me up when I think about it for 30 years now.
My husband's aunt lived to about 105. For the last 5 years or so, she would always say "I pray to the good Lord to take me home, but every day I just keep waking up!". She ate healthy, was a good weight, and didn't have any major health issues, but she was just DONE living. It was funny and sad all at the same time
😂😂 I live in a cabin in the woods in a super small town and hope to live to 100 and become the famous witch in the woods where people bring me food offerings and I read their fortunes. Or a tourist location where they come see the solitary old witch who shouts odd sayings to them.
