RE: Reflection: Life is Fragile! Enjoy and Appreciate it While You Can!
I'm 68...a remarkable number of the people I grew up with are gone.
My father in law lived to be almost 110...EVERYONE his age that he knew had died.
That's one of the sad things about living to an old age...most of the people you know and love...don't.
I don't mind old age — as long as I stay healthy.
The "elderly and sickly" idea holds no appeal.
My Aunt (who died at 94) said the same thing about aging... "You end up with noone left who shared your experiences. It's lonely."
yup.
I mentioned using an eight track to my son the other day.
He just looked at me.
I used to give the young 'uns a test by showing them a cardboard sleeve with a tab, used to put in an old fashioned 5 1/4" floppy drives to keep the read heads from "crashing" when you moved the computer.
Nobody ever got it....
sigh
heaven only knows what they'd think if you showed them some 'animal husbandry' tools from a century ago.
