The realities of aging are starting to set in and I'm not very happy about them. When Michael Jackson died it made me realize that I'm getting older. And unfortunately for me most of the people I know in life are even older then me and they too are getting older. These are, of course, things that I already knew but I think it finally hit home what all that means. This leads me to the eventual conclusion that they will probably die before me. I'm not ready for that. I hate the thought that I'm going to start having to deal with the sickness and death of my loved ones. I see my mom dealing with her parents doctor appointments and surgeries. It's terrifying.
I want to be six again, don't you. Just go happily about me day. Have someone prepare meals, clean for me, shelter me from all things that would be upsetting. I need a responsibility vacation.
Thanks for reading and letting me whine a little.

i agree. it is hard to see all of that. i keep seeing my parents and what they are doing with their parents and i think that is going to be me dealing with them sooner than later. i am not ready for that!
I know what you mean...I am surrounded my tons of family and friends that are quite a bit older than I am. It's overwhelming sometimes!
