Nature has a way of killing us off when for no apparent reason. If I was ill and I was offered another 2 years to spend with my loved ones, I'd probably take it. Sometimes **** just happens.

Pretty much all of this.

I'm on the donor list, but pretty sure not many body parts will be of much use to anyone once I go..I told them they can take anything except my eyes. Even though I will be dead the thought of people touching my eyes makes my skin crawl
