Yeah...makes you appreciate life, but it is also a loss from a talent standpoint. EVH was huge for meI agree. It is sobering, especially when someone the same age as you or younger dies. Chris Cornell and Delores O'Riordan were 2 recent ones that really hit close to home for me.
Yup. Uphill. Both ways.all generations go through the same process- young, want your own identity, don't want to listen to sage advice, get old and look around and complain and reminisce about the good old days.
It's an oversimplification to say it and perhaps I'm steering off course, but if you can't find a way to enjoy right now/the present and be thankful for the problems you think you have now, then you'll probably never truly be happy as much as you think you are preparing and planning to be once you accomplish X and then Y to get to Z....Yup. Uphill. Both ways.

Not to overstate the blindingly obvious, but people have always died, our heroes, friends, parents, pets, etc included.Yup. Uphill. Both ways.

I have chronic reflux and Barrett’s and it’s a real PITA. No caffeine, coffee, chocolate, alcohol, tomato sauce, spicy food or fatty food. Meds and regular exercise help a lot, though. I do an hour of cardio (running or rowing) every day and it makes a huge difference.It gets worse. Another 10 or 15 years and then it is your friends who start getting
called by the Grim Reaper to come back Home.
Hell, I am getting old enough now that some days I think death is preferable to life.
Takes me 20 minutes after getting out of bed before I can even feel like I am standing up
straight.
Also trying to find something to eat that doesn't give me f'ing heartburn is a real challenge.
WTH???!!!
That’s the part of getting older that I wasn’t prepared for. Most of my heroes and everyone I ever loved are all gone.I completely agree, but to be honest the hardest pill to swallow is knowing that this is something that will affect me directly with loved ones passing on
I'm sorry to hear that XRocker. I'm starting to realize that at my age and it's not something I'll ever be prepared forThat’s the part of getting older that I wasn’t prepared for. Most of my heroes and everyone I ever loved are all gone.
