Yesterday was my father’s birthday; he would have been 90. I was thinking about him off and on during the day and at one point mentioned to Der Bingle that if my father were alive and were turning 90, I would be worried about him dying. Der Bingle just dropped his head and sighed.

You know I can relate to this thinking. The thing is I can’t even imagine my mother at 81 (what she would be now). She is forever 53 in my mind. I see my aunts and I know that my mother would be much like them but I can’t quite picture it. Then I catch myself thinking that if my mom were alive I’d be worried about her health and everything that goes with that. And I can’t imagine that either. Sometimes I don’t know if I’ve been cheated or if I’ve been saved from some unknown fate. Since both my parents have died I guess I’ll never know.
