Old men river and ME.

In the song "Old Man River" is a line that says "Tired of living, but scared of dying." This illness has taught me how that feels. The good news is I don't feel that way all the time.

Some days @Andrew I get tired of living too. I'm not afraid to die though. Like you I don't feel that way all the time. I like a song that has the words, "Another time and another place, sometimes I can't hardly wait."
 
"A Change is Gonna Come" is very similar: "It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die". (someone recycling lyrics?)

And yes, it's been a long, long time coming but I know a change is gonna come - there's some good scientists working hard out there to help us
