[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 50 and a new mom at the school just said this to me. She had wondered why id married such an old guy (I had casually mentioned my husband is 59).   She said she had thought I was 35. I don’t think I look that young but I must have looked young enough that she was surprised by my age difference with my husband.

I took that one as a compliment.

My husband was recently very ill and in the hospital for weeks. He lost a lot of weight.  The orderly there, at the time of discharge, said to my husband, “your daughter will bring the car around and I will wheel you out.”

That one made me very sad...[/quote]

You sound sweet, PP.  Remember, people look older when they are sick.  I'm 52 and my mom is 92 and totally "with it."  But she got sepsis, almost died, and was recovering. She lives in Montecito, which recently had the mudslides, so we were at our friend's funeral, and someone commented on my "grandmother."  I thought...yes, of course, she looks like my grandmother; she's almost died, has been displaced by the mudslides, and is at her friend's funeral.

She's back to looking like my mom these days.

Here is a hug to you and your husband.  [/quote]
