The problem is not being around to remember the incidents, it’s being able to remember anything at all at our age.

I’m about ten years younger, but so true! I used to have a good memory, but it’s getting worse as I get older. I like to say my mind is like a steel sieve. ;)
But I only meant death is not unexpected for them being 80, give or take, and I believe they all had serious ongoing medical issues.
“... but it’s getting worse as I get older...”
Maybe it’s not worse, but better. When you find out about things in your past and re-learn about them, the good times you can celebrate again anew. And you can be happy you weren’t there for the bad ones.
