Millie, Indirectly, That is what scares me. Not the living alone part
so much(I felt like that during my marriage. My wife was off in la-la
land somewhere, hoping my health problems would just disappear). But
that, someone not related to me, would not care what happened to me.
Actor River Phoenix had a seizure due to drugs, outside the Viper Room
night club in Los Angeles. The only one that really cared about what
was happening to him, was his brother n' fellow actor Joaquin Phoenix.
Who due to the idiocy of bystanders, ultimately watched his brother die
right in front of him.
