…that growing older (I am 74 years old) has its compensations and its downside. The downside is the physical loss. More medications – more body parts that don’t work the way they should – a bit more depression….
The upside is having family around you – children who are loving, a husband who is still around after 40 plus years, and grandchildren!! Wonderful grandchildren - to make me young again when they are around.
Heart concerns and aches and pains all disappear when my two year old Griffin visits. He grabs my hand and says “Come, grandma,” and we go – Up to the computer (He loves animals, especially giraffes, and the computer is chock full of images for him) - To a favorite toy or a new book. I am willing to follow wherever he wants to lead – and I get younger by the minute. That’s a bit of a miracle, I’d say.
