The Weirdness of Getting Old
Woman in the Middle | February 12, 2015I have reached that stage in life where reminders of my age keep popping up all over the place. And I don’t mean the AARP membership cards that arrive in our mail box on a regular basis. I mean weddings and babies, preferably in that order.
We had four weddings in quick order of children of close friends in the last year and a half. So you know what is coming next…babies! I just saw a posting on Facebook that the first couple of the four are now expecting. It is bad enough when kids you knew from birth get married, but when your friends are lined up to be grandparents…. Now I know I am getting old!
Even more evidence that I am getting old? Now one of Youngest Daughter’s friends is getting married this Saturday, on Valentine’s Day. I have known this girl since she and Youngest became best friends in middle school. Now she is getting married? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. It was my idea to fix her up with the fellow she is marrying. My one match making success! But still, it is amazing to see all these kids grow up and get on with thier adult lives. Amazing and weird!
Excuse me while I go read my AARP magazine and sip some Geritol….
You are still in a good place. We are getting to the stage where the grandkids of friends are getting married. That’s just weird!
Oh gosh, I can’t even imagine!!!
Wait until your doctor is the same age as your son or daughter!
I remember when my friend had her first baby. Her “baby” has been married, pregnant, and divorced.
