. I have seen what old age did to my grandad, Who was a war hero. . I am seeing what old age is doing to my own mother, Who was once a powerful strong woman. . In comparison to THAT! In comparison to the horror and indignity of growing That old?! . In comparison... Getting beaten and kicked to death for not backing down, instead?! Does NOT seem all that bad! . Getting Killed seems a hell of a lot better That dying slowly of old age! .
