I'm sure most of you would say I am still a child at 29.
I like your post about getting old very much it is a wonderful perspective.
I do look forward to getting older. Then I will have an excuse for the grey hairs I am already getting and my outlook on life. I don't know I think I must have an old soul, because even as a child I was never childish. And even though when was 10 my Grandfather was already 85 I never saw him as being "old". Unlike many people my age I do look to my elders for there wisdom and respect their experience.
I just wish that I had more than one Grandmother left. They only thinkg I fear about getting older is not the wrinkles or the grey hair it is the losses. You will loose some many friends before you day comes. And in my family there is a history of Alzhiemers so I fear loosing my memories and my self before I loose life itself.
As terrible as this sounds I would rather die early than live to be old and not remember my family, friends, past, what I ate for breakfast 20 minutes ago, or who I am.
