I Am Close To Turning Seventy

The hubby is seventy-three. He turned 70 three years ago already.

Not me. I won't be 70 until next year now. Will I take a bow?

Hardly, this is my year to feel like I am getting elderly!

*

It wasn't thirty, like cousin Richie!

He decided 30 was old in his teens, so, it was old for him in his twenties too.

*

Just like many people think it is their forties. Many do!

I guess losing a gallbladder and needing glasses happen to many at 40.

Not me, but many do need help to see.

*

Then there is 50 for many. Fifty is halfway to 100 years old.

50 is old!! That has them sold.

*

Sixty is getting close to retirement. My sister-in-law knows. Just ask her.

Making that the age of old. She says you are ready to be put out to pasture.

*

Now I know that 70 is the real age that is when you are feeling like you know what others don't.

You know that time is flying by and you won't

be here forever. And you didn't plan to be here this long and never

planned to outlive a younger sister and brother, not ever!

And it is okay with you to go, as many of your friends and family are gone on.

They have left this place and you have no fear as you believe there is another place Hon.

Hubby has family that lived to be in their 80s, 90s, and an auntie that lived to be 103.

80s is as old as my family went, and it won't be me to see 103, no it won't be me!
