To be a little bit sad that my DH is now a little old man

[Oldsu]

I do love him dearly he is the light of my life BUT
I never really thought of him as old even though he is 69, but I guess having been married to him for 46 years I hadn't really noticed as its sort of gradual.

Today I was waiting for him to come home, a taxi pulled up and an old man in a raincoat had to be helped out of it, it gave me a bit of a start when I realised it was DH.

Mind you I am sure he looks at me and wonders where the young girl with the hour glass figure went.

Its a bugger this getting old lark

My lovely Dad is only 74 and has a tremor like Parkinsons and loads of medical conditions, it kills me to see him so weakened, he was so much a good strong younger man and an inspiration to us, I have to do my folks 'big shop' and then carry it from the car and put it away, and do all the heavy stuff, they hate it, but just can't do it for themselves, I love them to death but it is so weird with the roles reversed, hopefully I will have an easier old age, but you never know....
