When I'm an older woman
I might move a little slower.
My dancing days behind me now,
I'll probably stop more to smell
the flowers.
--
I'll never be the type to be
weak and frail, I spent too many
years of my life raising hell.
--
Growing old isn't anything to be
scared of, I'm sure, but now growing
old without *you* is something I
can't endure.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Yes Sam, growing old with out you is really a difficult case - it shouldn't be like that for neither of us. Well written and my heart pokes and a tear roll
