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

I lost mine, some 13 years ago and it's like it was yesterday,

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

My experience is opposite. My father went at 56.

However, Mum is somewhere south of Townsville, wandering
"solo" in her motorhome on the way back from the Northern
Territory, Kakadu and other places in the remote North.

She is 83.
