I seem to recall hearing people say things like “he died of old age” when I was a kid. Was that just a euphemistic expression that people used to explain things to children, or was that actually a common way to put things? In any case, it occurred to me the other day that I never hear that expression any more, and I wonder what happened to it. After all, you can’t really die of old age, can you? It seems like age increases your vulnerability to any number of conditions, but how can you die from old age itself?

The old age and the youth are not of age old.
And the old age is just to avoid. Let us remain young. As for the death, it is an artefact.
Best regards.

I’m doing well. Very busy and tired, but I’m learning a lot about myself and about running a business. What I really owe you, however, is a response in French. :-) We’ll see what I can do.
