Karin Fuller Patton's favorite picture of her mother, who didn't take life too seriously and always looked for reasons to laugh.

This may seem a bit dark, but I imagine most of us have wondered how our parents' eventual ending might be.

With my dad, I was certain for many years that his passing would involve something dramatic, perhaps a rolled-over tractor or a fall from a roof or a leap in front of a bullet to save a stray cat. He wasn’t one to dodge risky endeavors.
