As it turns out, A.A. Milne was a genius. I came across the commonly misquoted "If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you". The real quote (one of my all time favorites) is from The House at Pooh Corner:
"Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred."
Pooh thought for a little.
"How old shall I be then?"
"Ninety-nine."Pooh Nodded. "I promise," he said.
what a beautiful sentiment
