We got old at the same time

[grampahol]

Nothing wrong with venting at the world we allegedly live in . I went through similar events not long ago . My mother passed away followed by my brother and nearly all my friends and now both of my sisters are looking like two elderly spinsters and my 89 year old pop (soon to be 90) is still hanging in there and complaining non-stop about not being able to do the same things he could do when he was a Marine . 
There's something about getting old most people spend years in denial about..They almost never think it's going to happen to them and seldom plan accordingly for not being able to do the same things they could just a few years prior .
After all  who actually plans to lose their eyesight, hearing and becoming a burden to their kids? Pretty regularly my dad tells me , 'I don't want to be a burden,  but....Drop everything right now to go make me a sandwich I probably won't even eat...' 
Yeah , getting old sucks, but the alternative is to not get old and that has its downsides too.. 
Whenever anyone tells you that I'm not getting older you can bet your life that there's a lie somewhere between I'm and older.. 
I tell my kids to 'Get old or die.' There really aren't any other options available.  
Hang in there Saber.. The good news is that you're still able to vent online and still able to use the technology that allows you to post these things. We just bought my dad a new cell phone and he has absolutely no clue how to use 99% of its features and can't read anything on the screen since he lost nearly all of his vision, but he still knows how to complain about it . 

Thinking about my dad I gotta go make his breakfast and get his meds ready and get him a cuppa..
