Should you welcome old age?
Is it just me?, or does every one think about, what it will be like for them when they get old. See, I’ve always done this, ever since I became a teenager, i would say to people, I’m not going to get old. I’m only 29 now but, i do find myself thinking about it often, sad isn’t it. I mean i would rather take my own life before nature takes it from me. Does any one else feel like this?
I have got children, two girls already, another on the way but, i really would not want to be a burden to them, having to look after me when I’ve started to lose my marbles or just can’t take care of myself properly, you know all the problems that you start getting when ya old.
Looking on the bright side, i may not get too many problems, you just don’t know. I try and keep fit and eat some, of the right foods, still got bloody purple veins appearing on my legs though. Its not so much what i will look like, its just how will i feel. What if i cant go out for a walk and i cant wash my own feet. I think being a carer my self, part time, really has given me an insite to how the elderly live. All i can say is its bloody scary. Some have no family at all, so they only see strangers, who don’t really want to spend there precious time, chatting with the old folk. They are in and out, wash em, dress em, feed em. It was this job that made me think, i have got to expand my family some more, hence being pregnant again.
I am happy in my life despite what it may sound like. I have a loving husband, he is 6 years older than me, it doesnt seem to bother him getting old, he just gets on with it. When we first met, i did talk to him, i said it would be really nice if we could plan to go together, you know, so we don’t leave one of us behind, i could not handle that. So i suggested maybe when we reach our early 70`s, we could get sloshed together on some beautiful island in the sun, drop a few pills lay down on the sand and just drift off together to a better place. I would tell my children what we where planning, i just think that would be the ideal way to go, but hey thats just me.
