“Please give me fifty more years of work and fun, then an instant death when I'm sleeping.”
“...please remember that leaving your baby alone protesting for more fun with you while you get dressed is not the same things as abandonment. Similarly, leaving your baby alone protesting for more fun when she needs to sleep is not neglect. ”
“But, if for some reason we're not closer, if something has gotten between us, please, I'm begging you…don't give up on me. Stay. Stay with me. Work it out with me. Just don't leave me…please.”
“For me, sleeping is a waste of time. I'm afraid to sleep. It's a form of death.”
“I'm fifty-one years old, but I'm not through yet. I have lived a full life, and intend packing in quite a lot more.”
“Fifty, Fifty, Fifty... give me strength.”
