This is a hard time of life, old enough to live well, but also old enough our mentors, those that influenced us or impressed us that were not terribly older than us are passing.

It really felt like a personal window to the pre Depression era closed when my Dad’s mom died. She was born in 1912 and my grandparents were middle school sweethearts. I know that’s different than what you’re talking about but it’s definitely tough seeing people who so defined your experience pass on. I’m only 32 so I’m sure I’ll be here as the boomers pass on.
