As I told Paula , his wife , because he can and because he may not be able to at 84 . What , exactly , could anyone be waiting for ?

100% this. I didn't wait and now I'm glad I didn't. After our youngest got out of college we started traveling, and have been all over the country and to Mexico and the Caribbean as well. Took the grandkids to a bunch of places while we still could and while Grandma and Grandpa were still kind of cool
On Nov 5th I lost my right leg to a deadly rare form of Sarcoma. I could die with 2 legs or live with 1. I made the easy choice.
I'll hobble around on a walker and crutches for a few months, then get fitted with a prosthetic and learn to walk again.
So don't wait. Your life can change in an instant.
