In reply to the discussion: How are we to feel young when our youngest daughter just turned 30? [View all]DFW
(54,642 posts)4. I'll probably feel nothing at all
My gene pool doesn't have a lot of people who made it to 80. One grandfather who zapped right on to 102, but the rest of the parents and grandparents never made it to 80, my dad's parents not even to 70, and here I am look at 63 next month.
But other than a few to-be-expected aches and pains, plus the very unwelcome heart issues, I don't feel like I'm ready to stop playing Beat The Reaper just yet.
