Dying

(1966 August 10)
You can have no idea what a relief this has been to me [that LL is OK].  Before the operation, he talked so sensibly about dying.  He said now he had had ten more years than people with his trouble [diabetes] often have.  He has had a good life and a happy home, and if this were it, all right.  HE may have been ready, but I was not and am plenty glad the Grim Reaper gave us a miss.
