Long enough so that I can see all of my kids happy in their adult lives and completely supporting themselves. If I can leave this world having somehow helped fill my spot on Earth with responsible citizens and community members, then I can die happily regardless of age.
Now, having said that . . . my grandmother was 90 and healthy when she passed away quietly in her sleep. So I figure if I can hang around that long it wil have been a pretty good run.
