<p style="text-align:center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">so lonely, isn&#8217;t it???  NOT my photograph.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Something, that ALL older adults experience, at certain time in their lives, I&#8217;m thinkin&#8217;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Fears of dying alone, but, EVERYBODY dies alone, I mean, it&#8217;s not, as if you&#8217;d, died with, ALL your loved ones by your sides, any of them, will ACCOMPANY you into the <em>Unknown,</em> is it?  This is NOT <em>Five People You Meet in Heaven (by: M. Albom</em>), you know???  Fears of dying alone, I think, stems from the fears, of being alone, of being forgotten, after you&#8217;re gone, and perhaps, you&#8217;re having that particular fear, &#8216;cuz you&#8217;d NEVER done ANYTHING that mattered to ANYBODY out there, or that, you&#8217;d done, EVERYTHING wrongin your life, and, still ain&#8217;t TURNED &#8217;round yet&#8230;</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Fears of dying alone, yeah, uh, I&#8217;d, PREFER to DIE alone, but, I got a feeling, that I won&#8217;t be alone, when I passed on, say, dunno???  EIGHTY-FIVE years from now (that would mkae me, officially 120 YEARS old!!!)</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Fears of dying alone, get to the root of it, dig it all up, reexamine yourselves while you still have the chance, and, may there be, NO regrets when it’s time, for you to “go” (just don’t ask me “Where”!!!)………</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Fears of dying alone, I don’t want to die, but, I look around, and, there’s, NOBODY else but me here, so, I’m gonna, have to, save my breath, hold it in, a bit longer, and after someone comes in, I’ll, slowly, exhale, and D-I-E…</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Lucida Handwriting';"><span style="color:#000000;font-size:medium;">Yeah, uh, you’ve GOT to be SHITTIN’ me here!!!</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;" align="center"><em><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Lucida Handwriting;font-size:medium;">and here someone is, being, laid to rest, photo from online&#8230;</span></em><img src="https://cdn.modernghana.com/images/content/asanteislaidinstate.jpg" /></p>
