It's all relative isn't it. 72 isn't young, but in today's world, it isn't exactly old either.

Gosh damn, neither is 55, 60 or whatever to the young kids. We are all old ass farts to them.

I'm 61 and see people 50, 55, up to 65 dying all the time. You don't look at this shit until it becomes you, not until it becomes you in this time frame.

Damn, as a kid growing up, we all thought 40 was "OLD". Then as we age, we see that 40 isn't, old. But once you hit 50, you see HS classmates falling to illness and death, this for whatever reasons it may be.

I think it's pretty safe to say that we all want to live as long as we can.

72 is young when people live into the their 80, even up into their 90's.


BTW, RIP Gun!

I'm 56, so whether it's young or not, 72 is not old enough.

I just turned 57 and my dad died when he was 47.
I used to think that was old.

I'll be 68 when my lil one graduates. So yes, I concur, 72 is not nearly old enough.

I have an 89 yo aunt who swims every day and is fit as a fiddle.

Agreed, it's really how young a person is that is looking at it.

People around us die all the time, our time is coming but many of good men and women have have left this earth way too early.

I might add, RIP Mrs.ROYC75, it was just 1 year ago last month, age 60.

Way Too young!

Way Too young!

I keep myself at a cool 35 years old mentally. Makes a difference, IMO.
