[quote=Anonymous]I am 57. Apart from the obvious signs that I am old β I look like an old man in photos β I found I could no longer deny the stage of life I am entering when my high school peers began posting pictures of their grandchildren on Facebook. My own kids are teenagers. I remember when they were little they took swimming lessons and then as they got a little older we would swim together and race each other for fun in our community pool. I used to βletβ them keep up or catch me or beat me. Now they can both blow my doors off in any race. They are getting bigger and stronger, I am getting older and my body is breaking down. Apart from starting to celebrate their successes more than my own, and ensuring that my will is together and in a safe place, I have not taken any action reflecting the fact that I am now undeniably old.[/quote]
