The Time to Go to the New World

When do I die?
I want it when I am around 88 or 89, and hope everyone around me saying like,

"She was a good person."
"She influenced a lot of people in a good way."
"She must be in heaven right now."

It's the time to go to the new world.

I realized that I care other's comments even at the time of death.
This proved that I am not yet fully matured.

Thus, 'I' would say to the people around me,

"Thank you."
"Thank you."
"Thank you."

Interesting, Saku. You might find that you didn't care at the actual time of passage, though in the time before you would want to be loved and reassured and make certain those around you knew you had loved them well.
At least that is the way it has seemed to be for the people I have been with as they died--my father, a dear friend and mentor (she was 81), and the father of my eldest child (he too was in his 80's, much older than I).
But may you indeed grow to be old and be happy at your time of passing.
I am sure you have already made a difference in people's lives.
