How quickly the kids grow up. How fast we age. I understand the concept, but for me at least, life seems to drag on hour by hour, day be day, decade after decade. When I look back after 63 years in this plane of existence, I am amazed at the many lives I seem to have lived. The many phases or chapters that when you add them all up simply stagger my mind as to how much I have been through and how much work I have had to do for so long now. How's life going for you guys?

(OP) User ID: 66996549 United States 10/31/2017 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes, it is all a matter of perspective to be sure. Those with better memories will say that it goes on forever while those who forget quickly see it pass by in seconds. There is no right or wrong, only one or the other. I am only interested in hearing various points of view. He who feels the respect which is due to others cannot fail to inspire in them regard for himself, while he who feels, and hence manifests, disrespect towards others, especially his inferiors, cannot fail to inspire hatred against himself. When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.

User ID: 70890511 United States 10/31/2017 09:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My life, has been a whirlwind. To much of a story to even start, plus I'm a horrible writer. Long story short, I love my wife of soon 25 years. Of those years there has been a lot of life lived, she lost her father much more early than he should have left, cancer at 69. My own Father at 92 just fell last Friday and broke his pelvis in 3 places, he can't come home yet so he is not happy. He is being sent to an assisted living facility, until he can take somewhat care of himself. He is a WW2 vet, in the south pacific. Navy, he is down to 120# and very frail. That is hard to see, he was at one time 6' 240. Last Edited by Bar~none on 10/31/2017 09:48 PM In Vino Veritas |
