Didn't mean anything like cancer but maybe the way I said what I said could

Mosty people die, at an inopportune moment when it is least unexpected,
people seem to say "Well, he died doing what he loved doing"
But isn't living what people enjoy the most?

But was it unexpected, as George is saying? I've never been to a
surprise party where the guest of honor didn't know it was his/her
birthday.

I already know that I'm going to die.
