You Know You Are Old When

[CalG]

Now I get you

Yes, male life expectancy has increased.
But living "longer" than my father, in absolute terms seems "normal", living to an age greater than my father is a goal!

My 98 yo Mom passed at home Friday at 4:42pm, I, my wife & her caregivers were with her. I'll make funeral arrangements Monday 17th...ironically our wedding anniversary together 53 years.

Wow… I hope we can all live that long, and have such an interesting life. My condolences for you, but it sounds like she had a great, long life.

Major condolences and a tear shed.

Thanks all. I spoke with her church minister last night about Mom's funeral and eulogy. He said the last time he saw her at church was a couple months ago and spoke with her after services. Out of the blue he said he asked her "What is the meaning of life?".
She replied: "To learn to love".

YKYO when you can remember watching football games, and unless you were on your opponents side of the field, you NEVER went for a first down when it was fourth down and short.

You know you are old when you pay the mortgage off.
Fuddy, Sorry for your loss. I know it hurts even when you know to expect them to go. She is in Gods hands now

You know you are old when you pay the mortgage off.

Not when you don't live beyond your means! I paid off the mortgage on my first house at 33, and my second house at 47.
