When I was about 7 years old, I remember when Elvis died, then later that week I heard on the car radio that another public figure had died. I then asked my mom, "How come more and more people are dying", She was patient and explained to me that it happens at the end of someones life and that it was normal and I was just becoming more aware of it. Looking at it now, that was pretty funny and I just wonder how my Mom didnt burst out into laughter. the patience of mothers!
