Let's not talk about it

Dad passes the phone immediately to my mom.
Mom ends the phone calls very quickly, right before the topic comes up.
Uncle Chiu keeps saying "It's OK it's OK it's OK" when she's not OK.

I've read many books about Death.
I've watched movies about Death.
I've had friends pass away.
I'm not scared of Death.

Just don't want to see loved ones dying.

Death is romantic. Funerals, b&w pictures, tears, hugs, flowers, stories.
Dying is unbearable. Medicine, pain, time, tremors, money, foul smell, weak.

Just don't want to see loved ones dying.

(I think mom&dad won't fly to NY as planned.)

Just don't want to see loved ones dying.
