Clifford,
Although I appreciate your poetic response, having survived a stroke and feeling the after effects of that I have to say; Age is more then a number for me.When people you knew in High School have passed on it is the realization that life allows for great sadness as well as joy. Although, sadness seems reserved for those of us who have aged.
Eugene Keslow and Mike Bibbo were not "friends", they used to pick on me in High school, but I was amazed and sad when I heard they had both died too young. It blew me away. I am sure they were amazing adults who left behind loving families.
Age , for me, is more about experience. And yes, I have a lot going for me now. I also love that I can reflect back with some of the people I went to high school with!
I agree with you in that we have experienced many things that were awesome.
The next generations will too I am sure.
I am not sorry I have made it this far, I just wish all my high school classmates had too.
