[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For most people, 47.2 is probably the average sandwich age--working hard with kids to support, and with parents who are aging. [/quote] It was when my dad recovered from chemo and was cleared of cancer. Very happy, life was good until 47.8 the worst of my life—cancer came back aggressively, he was in and out of hospital. I watched him disappear before my eyes, hospice at home and died when I was 47.11. We were incredibly close. Pretty much sucks at 49.11 now. [/quote] Holy crap. 47.2 was about when DH's dad started going downhill. He died when DH was roughly 47.9. And now that I think of it, I was really starting my own midlife crisis at 47.9, too. This age has been very rough for both of us (we're both 48 now and knee deep in the mire). [/quote]
