re: Family & Aging: what age did you start to feel the pressure of time?

When the last family member of your parents' generation is gone you will be faced with the reality that you are now the senior group. You are the ones your kids and grandkids look up to for guidance. It is a very sobering reality. The day you realize your mother has terminal cancer or your father's Alzheimers has progressed to the point where he no longer knows you is the hardest day of your life. Be strong and battle through it, as hard as it seems, you will carry on. Enjoy them while you can for someday you will be them. Life is for living.
