How old is too old? When I was born, my grandparents were all roughly the age I am now. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t think that they were all ancient. One of the earliest memories I have of my paternal grandmother is playing with the wattle under her chin.
(Sadly, Patrick will always be 19.) I live in a Sun City, an age 55+ community. Age awareness is omnipresent around here, yet it is the only place I know where I am considered “just a baby!”
Just as Time is relative, so is Age. We spend ALL of our lives being younger than we are now. There is a lot to reconcile now as the days tick by so quickly.

I would like to give you credit for this quote and share it on Facebook. Is that okay with you?
I’ll be 73 this month and Corey will be 44. 😳
