Love
and appreciate your parents.
We
are often so busy growing up; we forget they are also growing old.
My
parents are now in their 70's but I do not think of them as old, my
mum is a very active woman still driving children to school and
watching toddlers and babies nearly every day of the week. In fact
mum gets up at 5.45am most morning except on the weekend when she
will sleep in till around 7am.
My
dad was really active too, till he had lung cancer in 2009 and since
then he has gone down hill and is no way as active, yes there are
even times when he moves like an old man this is due to the fact that
his feet are not good any more, since he had radiation treatment his
feet are often painful and he finds it painful to walk or stand for
any length of time.
Mum's
memory is pretty good at times I think it is better then mine,
however, the same can't be said about dads memory. Dad has moments
when he can't remember people's names or mum telling him something
and those moments are getting more and more.
My
father's parents died in their 70's and my mother's father was in his
70's when he passed away but her mother is still alive she will be 93
at the end of this month, I can see my mum living to be in her 90's
easy.
Do
you see your parents as old, or are you like me and just don't see
them ageing?
My dad turned 79 last month and my mom turned 76 yesterday...NO i don't think of them as old!! My mom is a cancer survivor, and while it knocked her down a bit, she's still going strong! My dad is like a little kid. He still plays with all his toys and works out in his shop. Just takes him a little longer to finish things. :)

That is great that your parents are still active even if a bit slow
DeleteBoth my parents are in their 70's, too, and like you, I just don't see them as old. I hope I never do.
