                What a drag that you are facing all that dental work.  I am in need of some myself and keep putting it off.  But, I don't want you to be thinking fatalistically about yourself and your health.  I want you always here writing the wonderful stuff that you write.

                I'm really sorry to hear that you have these problems, but I'm sure everything will go well! I have never heard of dental procedures being fatal - if they were, I wouldn't be here, LOL... Though terribly unpleasant, they're not even painful, as I'm sure you know, and as I know from my own far too frequent experiences...And I wish I could share your sense of immortality - well, maybe some day...

                I suspect, or at least speculate, that leaving things unfinished here, will be like reaching the end of the school year with 'incompletes' on the record.  We probably have to finish them over summer break.

                Maybe this sense of "no time to waste" will help me finish what I started, but the other side of mortality, it seems to me, is immortality - the ultimate happily ever after. But perhaps the sense of urgency that drives us here can translate to the there.

                    Maybe this sense of mortality
                
                can also fit itself into this tale of the other side of mortality.
