U are correct. Thanks Hark. That is from her appearance on the Tom Snider Show ( I researched it).

That's sort of wishing your life away, isn't it? What sort of situation would one be in to look forward to that day? My mom was there but she was 92 and had some serious health problems.

I am still recovering for back surgery. I still remember the pain I was in; there were moments that I thought death would be better then the pain. I can see why people would look forward to death. Now that the pain is gone I look forward to what might be in store for me tomorrow. I also know that tomorrow is not a promise; but it is a gift.

So far I'm too damn curious. I'd be afraid of missing something really interesting.
But I'm a lot closer to eighty than seventy and my health isn't superb to put it mildly. It's coming. I just hope it's reasonably quick and clean.
Maybe someone could drop a Steinway grand on me from a fifth-floor window. I've always loved music.
My family members know that if they keep me just ticking by means of respirators and tubes and drips, I will come back and haunt them.

I look forward to enjoying life, but;
When I am done I will see Charon at Acheron or Styx.
The Devil will be in a fix,
He gave me to a mother bent and bowed,
I plan to lock and load,
He'll soon see I'm the horse that can't be rode.

The lyrics of a country song come to mind, "Everyone wants to go to Heaven, just not right now!" As I age and the pace of good friends passing on increases , I fear death less everyday, but that does not mean I am ready because I still have a lot to live for. All my very best, Joe.

There comes a time when every man will cry
Even you, even I
There comes a time when every man will die
Even you, never I
The problem as I see it is, when you die, you are the only one going. Consider the response if you were to ask your friends and family to join you. I think that is the point of answering this question.

I'm not afraid to die - as long as I'm not there when it happens.

You said keep the theological sermons out of it, so let me just say I know where I'm going, so on that part I say "death where is your sting". But for those I leave behind, I'm terrified. So I keep my life insurance paid up so that I leave my wife and kids none of my dept. My heart would break for my pets however and try not to think about the very sad movie, Hachi: A Dog's Tale, where his owner never returns home from work after a massive heart attack.
No, but holding out hope this be true...

Quite a few years back I was told not to look forward to retirement. It would be like wishing my life away. Now that I'm 70 I agree with the advice. Time flies by a lot faster than we all want it to. Life is short. I'm trying to do things that I've always thought about but never tried or had the time to do. I enjoy (to a certain extent) my grandkids. I enjoy all my hobbies and I've been taking as many cruise vacations as I can afford. Death will come along at some time but, as long as I'm still here, I'm taking advantage of every minute.
I'm sure not looking forward to it, but I'm in good health still.
My friend is getting close to passing from cancer and he told me" Until you've learned how to die, you really haven't learned how to live".
I admire his strength and dignity. I hope I have half as much when my time comes, but I'll probably go out kicking and screaming.

I am ready, but, suspect I have some time to go based on genetic background. If it came tomorrow I've had a good life.

Kind of a funny question, if by "Look forward too", you mean anxiously awaiting, and welcoming it. Then no I do not, I am also not afraid of it.
On the other hand I think you should be literally looking forward to your death, and be ready for it. Keep all your ducks in a row, tell the people you love that you love them, and live each day like it is your last. Get right with the man.
Pretending like it is not going to happen, and leaving a mess behind you when it does is not the right thing to do.
