“They never talked about being afraid to die. They talked about how great it would be to see their old friends again, about how they were looking forward to being reunited with their parents, husbands, and wives on the other side of this life.

The longer you live, the more people you miss, until the idea of dying is less about oh shit, I'm afraid, and more about I'll finally be able to see all my friends again...everyone I've missed so much.”
