How did you feel about aging. It really didn't bother me when I hit 40, or 50, but 60 was something different.
We planted a cherry tree in the garden recently and DH said that it woukd look beautiful in 20 years time. I suddenly thought, I may not be here in 20 years time!
It made me realise that the majority if my life is over, and I hate the time I wasted on stupid things. The middles years were pretty bad, with a violent H then a cheating one. Loss of children and recurring miscarriages.
I wish it could have been like the last 20 years, with my now DH, who is wonderful.
But even that has been marred by a autoimmune disease that is gradually getting worse.
I know that most of the feeling comes from the fact that my own Mum didn't make it to 60, she died just before, and its mad me realise I dont have a map I can follow.
When I turned 60 it was the beginning if the first lockdown and the planned trip were were going to do obviously didn't happen which didn't help.
Am I being just a miserable old git, or is it the world over the last 18 months, or us this how you just feel in the later ages of life?
