Is right around the corner.  When did my world get so small?  Great-grandparents are this age and as I look around I see they are gone. Grandparents are this age and as I look around mine are gone and I have 6 boys that call me grandma.  When did the grandparent line become so short with me at the front.  I don’t remember applying for the role of matriarch of this family but it looks like age is the calling card and required resume.

I remember the feeling at high school graduation as not being a  graduate at all but a ceremony of being kicked out.

Age at certain times is the same thing as an experation date.  Our shelf life is over.
