These responses have me laughing!
Last week I attended the funeral of my dearest aunt, who taught me to quilt. She was 91 when she died. A childhood friend of my aunt's was at the funeral, and the friend said she wasn't going to have the knee replacement surgery that her doctor recommended because she was only 2 years and 2 months away from the age her mother was when the mother died. I think my aunt's friend should take up quilting -- that would change her perspective, and she would "reset" her expiration date for several more decades.
