After many years as a hospital chaplain my wife has learned there is a definite tendency for dying people to live to some significant event such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, and anniversaries before giving up the ghost. Sometimes they don't make it to the desired date but still and all it results in a clustering of natural deaths around major holidays.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
