my mom was an idiot when she was 40 and she's still an idiot in her 70's. it is hard to see her get old tho, alot of the stuff that i used to take her to task for i just let it pass. it would have been good for me to come to some understanding with her before either she or I leave this planet but that ain't in the cards. real life isn't usually like the movies.
actually, some movies are very good when it comes to portraying dealing with aging parents - the Tom Hanks Jackie Gleason movie, forget the title now, was very real.
my Dad died 6 years ago, and as much as i miss him and wish he was here the one tiny benefit is that I never saw my Dad deteriorate, he was still working, still getting up every day putting on his suit and tie, still running around , still checkin out the babes.
there is a point where people really do live too long.
nice quiet heart attack during your sleep at about 80 is perfect.
