joyfinderheroSuddenly today I noticed -- it should have been / was / obvious -- that I'm just about 11 years younger than my mother was when she died.
I already know I don't want to live the way she did in her last 5 years. Does that mean I have about 5-6 good years left? Maybe, though in a few ways I am healthier than she was. Notably, I am taller and straighter of spine than she was.
Cognition, though ... increasing moments of brain fog, increasing Senior Moments, increasing moments of 'what was I just doing?' At some point I will either grow infuriated / tired of those, or adjust and stop caring about them. We'll see which.
