I never think of those things, but if I did... I'd probably say that I'd be 80 in the year 2069 though I'm expecting to live a good amount past 80. I just hope that I am able to live comfortably and without too many health problems. My parents are pretty young so I probably won't have to worry about grieving their loss for at least another 30 or so years. Either way, thinking of their death makes me want to spend more time with them. My girlfriend is a couple years younger than me and the fact that males usually die sooner, I probably won't have to grieve her loss. I have also already had a dog that died after 16 years, so I'm accustomed to mourning the loss of a pet. It is much better having had one than not having one though.

Me too. I absolutely never think about that stuff! I only have one grandparent left. None of them made it to 80.

For me, I think about knowledge a lot and how much of it is lost when someone dies. I think it's important we pass on as much as we can. Written language is the closest we can get to transcending death. You can read the stories, experiences, thoughts, and knowledge of people long gone.
