Blog #8
I guess the biggest problem I have with getting old is knowing that one day I will lose my parents and that I am also getting closer to death. Age doesn't really bother me; it's the thought of losing those around me that I love as I age. I also thought when I was younger that I would be set in life by now. I sure didn't think that I would still be in school! The things that don't bother me about aging is having the chance to watch my kids grow and having more time to spend with them and my husband. I love my kids being young now and I know I will always see them that way, but I can't wait to see what they make of themselves as adults.

I understand where you are coming from about fearing losing those around you. When I was younger I was terrified of aging because I was so set in getting everything from my parents and running to them whenever I had an issue or problem and getting help from them. But as I grow older so do they and who will I be able to run to then. It is very scary to transition over figuring out how to help and rely on only you certainly after high school and going into college. And with my “son’s” 4th birthday just passing I can’t help but wonder how time flies and what he will grow up to be or do. And of course I question when or if I will have children of my own.
Farrah,
I think it is a good for one to be able to see there children grow up and see what they make of themselves as adults, it makes for achievements added to ones self. I am looking forward to seeing how things pan out with me and my siblings. I better come up with the upper hand.

This is an interesting and enlightening aspect on the fear of aging. Most people lean more towards the beauty aspect of aging, but I had not thought of the possibility of losing loved ones until now. I have been fortunate enough up until now to only lose a few family members, but as I age there will be more and I will have to learn how to cope with that fact. Thanks for enlightening me!
