Re: OT. the sweetness of old age ...

Alas, I didn't mention mothers for a reason ...

I lost mine, some 13 years ago and it's like it was yesterday,
so I don't like to talk about women, mothers day; etc.
only for the pain it causes me ...
It would be impossible for me to begin to express how much
I miss my mother ... just truly impossible

Already, when I think of her, I become lacrymose

But, yes, it does count for a lot .. anything over 74
(my mothers age at her demise) would be a real feat
these days although, life expectancy is supposed to be
close to 84 for women and abt 78 for men

Hats off to a real man !

My father is 87 and still going, but not very far, I'm afraid.

How about others' aging fathers ?

I'm an aging mother. Does that count for anything?

Hi Frank,

That reminds me of a true story about my father, soon to be 84... This
Spring he was voted by the readership of the small town newspaper in the
place where he grew up, and to which he has retired, as the "Man of the
Year".... When my brother, sisters, and I were invited to submit remarks
to
be published upon the great occasion, my brother submitted a piece
stating
that our father had no enemies, as he "has outlived them all"....

There are some perks that come with elder years, it seems, especially if
one
remains robust and fully in possession of his faculties..... Already
this
year, he has been to Cancun, Miami, Palm Beach, Boulder, Charleston, SC,
and
now this month, he will be travelling to Virginia Beach and Wash. DC...

Will, T2
