I don't want to sound mean, but where did the idea come from about death being romantic? Just curious.

I wouldn't find death to be romantic, and it never occured to me that it could. However, I welcome death in itself more than having to exist before it happens - like not being able to do things for myself or being in constant unbearable pain or illness.

About a year-and-a-half ago, I came close to being killed instantly. I was riding my bike when it almost happened. I was about 200 yards from entering an intersection with a traffic light that was green for quite a while. I was about 10 yards from the intersection, still going, when I saw a big SUV crossing the intersection on the side where the light was red. The SUV was not trying to beat a red light from it being yellow, it just was not paying attention to the red light. So, only if I were at that intersection 10 seconds earlier, I would have been struck and not known what happened.

But the SUV hit a car that proceeded ahead of me. The car spun around and the SUV skidded, spun, and then flipped over. All of this right in front of my eyes! Some metal from the impact got flying around me, but nothing hit me.

After that I got thinking, my goodness I could have been in heaven by now! At least that's what I believe in. As far as romance and death is concerned, I've been told that there's no sex and marriage in heaven (sorry, that's my depression talking {LOL}).
