I think at least for myself once you reach a certain age you realize your own mortality.I turned 60 this year and I think back to my childhood and earlier teens, the mistakes I made that charted my course in life.
The things I should have , could have done differently. We look around us and see our family and loved ones struggling and passing with disease. I just lost and old friend last weekend who dropped dead of a heart attack at 57.
Yeah man I can relate to not fully understanding why we are here pushing the stone down the road everyday until we can no longer push the stone.
I would love to take off on the road and ride back to some great time in my past, obviously we can't do that.
I've come to the realization I'm here not for myself but for others, is it fate or just circumstances. I'm not sure.
What I do know is somehow this old craggy bastard managed to raise a wonderful family. Two great sons who are fine family men in their own right. Three beautiful granddaughters that think I hung the moon.
With that I find myself a bit more cautious with my own activities understanding I'm here for others who need my guidance as long as I am of sound mind and body to offer it.
Rich, I feel for you brother. Loosing your wife, your soul mate has to be very difficult. I cant imagine the pain and loneliness you must be feeling.
