Grandfather 88 and not once did he ever see a doctor… born at the farm just like all 10 of his children.
At 88 he lost fingers in a log splitting accident and rushed to the hospital.
While there the Doc says irregular heartbeat and candidate for a pacemaker.
Grandpa refused saying when it’s my time it’s my time… had another 6 years active living and passed in his sleep from heart attack.
There are plenty where the worry alone might kill them…
Several of his friends, also farmers passed on the job and everyone said a blessing to live your best life and depart.
