Are you scared of death?

I'm not afraid of death personally but I do have young kids so I worry about how they would cope with losing me. I want to be here as long as possible for them but the idea of actually being dead doesn't phase me that much. It's true about it going quickly though. My dad was freaking out when he turned eighty. I'm 45 so five years off fifty which is kind of daunting but ultimately I kind of feel like fretting over a legacy is pretty pointless. Even if you do something awesome it will fade into history eventually. It's really only pride that makes it an issue. Just enjoy your life and help others to enjoy their time.
