Old age slips up on you in a snap of a finger

[Jim Robinson]

I don't remember when I got old, it just happened. One day I turned around and discovered I was an old man. Thinking back on it I think it was after my wife died. When Sheila died it took all the wind out of my sails. I'm now adrift, without rudder, without anchor and without a North Star. The bilge water is creeping up and threatening to put the fires out for good.

If you've ever experienced being dead in the water in the middle of an ocean, that's how I'm feeling right now. It's a surreal feeling.

'O God, thy sea is so great and my boat is so small.'

I was surprised last week by my coworkers. They gave me a 70th birthday party, and it was well attended. I was overwhelmed by the moment.

What's keeping my spirits up are my 3 grandchildren. They bring me such joy, and a positive outlook on life. I'd like to retire, but it's not in the cards, and it really doesn't matter.

Bless you, Jim.

I’m 73 now. It sure flew by fast especially lately. My wife also passed away a year ago. Tough being without her but we have a son I’m proud of.
