Death / Birthday

[snaky_poet]

I have just finished reading a book about death, a beautiful book called The Book Thief, by Markus Zusak. It is narrated by Death - who, in the book, is quite a decent bloke.  At one point he remarks that a difference between humans and himself is that humans have the good sense to die.

Today would have been my dearest's 84th birthday. But he died

"At one point he remarks that a difference between humans and himself is that humans have the good sense to die." -- if we only had a choice... But, yes, sometimes the burden of memories and the burden of body are too much to carry.

Very true, Stefan.
