This morning, for no particular reason, I was wishing I could have just a 5 minute break from worrying about all things aging, when our 17 year old dog started looking not so good.
Ugh, not sure what’s going on with her, but, we’ll see.
Then, I realized that when the time comes that I don’t have to worry about such things, I’ll be elderly, myself.

I certainly hope you knocked on wood after that. I mean you certainly HOPE you don’t have to worry about such things.
A distant relative, died last year at the ripe old age of 92, and right up until her death was still tending to the needs of her 60-something year old alcoholic problem child.
