2. My father died in 2024

He was 93. He was emotionally stunted his whole life, an unpleasant man at the best of times. When his health went bad, it was NOT the best of times. He became unbearable. He slept all day and ranted all night. His ankles became swollen as CHF became worse in spite of his pacemaker. He would repeatedly get out of bed and fall at 2 or 3am, which necessitated multiple family members coming to the rescue. I think he enjoyed the attention and the bossing of others. Finally, we couldn’t care for him at home any longer and he had to go to a care facility, where he grabbed my finger and tried to break it on my first visit. He lasted about ten days. His passing was a blessing and a relief.
I see certain patterns in the decline. I would imagine that Cheetolini has more time than that, but make no mistake, it is coming.
Buy your Champagne now. There is sure to be a run on it at some point soon.
