When I get old...
I don't want to be a burden to my children. When I get old I want to leave my family with wonderful memories of our lives together. When I get old I want to sit on my porch in the rocker and watch as the yard fills with grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins and such. When I get old I want my children, grandchildren, and family to say "Tell us that story again, Mom. You know the one about..." When I get old I want to be wanted. When I get old I want my best friend still sitting beside me and sharing a knowing look or a good laugh just between the two of us. When I get old I don't want the pain. When I get too old to live, I just want to go to heaven. When I get old, I'll be closer to seeing Jesus.

That post makes me think of this song... When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be, when we all see Jesus, we will sing and shout the victory...
I have a list of requirements for my old age as well: loved ones around me, good health, dog, stories, and hopefully, financial freedom. Great post!
