My children are 13,10 and 6 and I am 51. And I don't think the other half of my life has just started. Basically, I think 3/4 or so is already over. I don't think I can live till 100 and I don't want to live that long. I think up to 70-80 is probably the limit to me. So, another 25 years, lol.
My last wish is to move to Israel, claiming the citizenship and get buried in a Jewish cemetery. I have converted to Judaism, and I am learning Hebrew now. Life and death are just one door away. Every morning waking up I feel the gratitude of being alive. And I am getting ready for the departure. What if I already have terminal cancer and am not aware of it? What if a stroke comes? It's all possible. At 50 I don't take things for granted anymore.
