That's a shame. I had no idea he was 70.
It's weird: 10 years ago I would've said, "Well, 70 is a good long life, right?" But now I have parents that age and it doesn't feel that old.
As a 65 year old, I am gratified that you think so
"Too young" keeps on going up as your parents get older.
Yeah, 70 is too young.
I think most people imagine themselves living until 90-100. Sadly there aren't any guarantees in life.
I nearly died when I was 30. Made me way less optimistic about making it to 90. Now I just want to live long enough for my kids to be adults (60), everything else is just gravy.
Glad you're still with us.
I'm ambivalent.
I was in that boat. I'm 56 now, and I've already had friends taken by cancer. It seems much more like a crapshoot at this point.
I only really remember PeeWee's Playhouse on the big screen in the student union building on Saturday mornings when we were all hung over. It was a trip.
