When did you know you were getting old?

When my mom got sick. I mean, I'm not old (yet), hell, even she wasn't (she was 59 when she breathed her last breath Friday morning), but it sure makes you feel old

 

I'm so sorry to hear that

 

Sorry Kinky.

 

So sorry Ramona.

 

Thanks. I guess I'm still in that shock of "It's over" right now. It was only a year and a half but it was the most horrible thing to watch. She had ALS, her hospice nurses said it was the worst thing they've ever watched, that cancer doesn't even touch this. All I know is if I'm ever diagnosed with it, I'm going to take a few weeks to do everything i still can with the people I love, spend some quality time, and then I'm going to overdose on whatever I can one night before it takes my arms. I used to be mad that she didn't even try fighting it but I totally understand now. I wouldn't even bother.

 

Oh damn Ramona--that's a REALLY bad one. I'm sorry you and your family had to go through that.

 

sorry to hear that... My condolences.

 

Thanks, everyone. It was a really lovely service, and I have plans for some of her ashes once I save enough money.

 

Thinking of you, Ramona. I have watched people pass from ALS, and there is a unique cruelty and horror to that disease. So sad that if effected your mothers life and your own life.

 

I'm so sorry for your loss!

 

OMG Ramona, that's horrible! I am so sorry for your loss.

 

i knew i was getting old from about 37 right into this year. I'm 38. I'm getting towards 40 and it feels like I'm losing part of myself.

 

In my 20's

 

I actually feel younger atm than I would normally feel. Keep yer mind and life busy and fun.

 

When I stopped being able to understand teenagers when they talk.

When I started waking up in pain for no reason

 

The day I fell through my butthole and ended up in China.
