My Parents Are Getting Older And I’m Not Ready “You never want to think that time is fleeting. It is too difficult to imagine life without them. So you don’t.”
, you take pause. That person who towered over everyone with his tall stature and who could do anything with his hands and who was always there when you needed him … when he needs you, it feels kind of funny.
My parents aren’t old; they are in their late-sixties and early-seventies. They have a lot of life left to live. This situation isn’t imminent. No one has a terminal disease. But I know that tomorrow is never guaranteed to anyone. Both of my grandmothers lived well into their nineties, each almost reaching 100. My dad’s dad was in his eighties when he died. He lived a good, long life. But my mom’s dad was only 56 when he died.
In fairness, I don’t have to try to keep my mother young. She does that on her own. She is extremely involved in her 10 grandchildren’s lives, exercises regularly, eats well, and socializes with her friends. My dad could more easily be swayed into the senior citizen lifestyle than her, but she keeps him from getting too old too fast. Don’t be fooled, however; as much as they want to be around as long as they can, there is no denying their silver citizen standing.
I want to enjoy my time with my parents. And I am not going to say, “While I can.” That sounds depressing to me. I am just going to enjoy them, period. I will never turn down an invitation for dinner or to come over and swim in the afternoon. I will take my mom with me to Target and laugh as she tries clothes on over her clothes and asks me how they look. I will stop myself from becoming frustrated with them when they can’t figure out a new technology that seems so simple to me.
