i envision my retirement years in a little house with a big garden. my wife loves garden, and our home should be a place where we can do the things we've always loved. i hope i will be close to my kids, too. i want to die with them close to me. my fear is growing too old and then dying without the kids finding out soon enough.

as much as i acknowledge the advantages of a retirement home -- like help always being very close and staff always there to check up on me and make sure i am clean and well-fed, i can't imagine living with too many people my age. most old people, especially those who don't maintain close relationships with their kids anymore, are grumpy and moody and not so nice company.
