I remember being very upset when my mother turned 60. Now I'm 61

My father passed 13 years ago. It doesn't seem possible. Yeah, it's scary and sad, but it makes me appreciate my 84 YO mother even more.
We have one son, and three grandchildren, and I'm really glad, because once my mother is gone, at least they will still be there to love.
Just remember how young 27 is, and cherish each day that you are young, and each day with your parents. 27 is a really nice age. You are smarter than you were as a teen, and still young enough to do anything you want with your life.
