I have lots of thoughts about growing old. My wife’s father passed at 89 years old. Her mom and both my parents are over 90. My sister passed a few months ago. Friends are getting hearings aids and I’ll need them soon. I’ve already had one heart attack and had a second stent to prevent another.
I’ve watched those around me get old. It is inevitable, but everyone fights it. I probably will too,
Hearing aids. Adult diapers. Assisted living. I’ve watched others fight against these things. I hope I’ve learned grace.
I fear that I haven’t.
