Death and Pineapples

After all these years I still stubbornly think that we all live forever. I was there in the room when both mother and dad took their last breaths, and my thought was 'Wait, no! This is impossible!' There are people, the pragmatic ones, who talk about death in a way that is so false and unappealing I just won't listen.
