WE WILL ALL GROW OLD

Like flowers, we grow and bloom. Our beauty and grace bless all those around us. We bring joy to many. Even when we start to fade, we maintain our color and vibrancy, although a little less spectacular. Then, our stems grow weak, and our color fades to a yellowish-brown. After our fragrance has brought peace to many hearts, we begin to wilt. At last, we return to the earth from whence we came and nourish the next blooms to come forth. We have a purpose in life and death. KJH

I’ve been reading many articles on Medium that include tales of growing old; sadly, many are not happy stories.

Older people fall and are not found for several days.

Critical health emergencies don’t have happy endings.

Sad stories of dementia and how it affects a person and their family.

Elder care that’s abusive.

Seniors who lose their autonomy at the mercy of family or friends.

Scams are aimed at older people who are vulnerable.

I write about my experiences in life. Some mundane, some sad, some funny, and hopefully none boring!
