The Golden Years

· Posted: 13.11.2019 · #1

Folks....Excuse my ramblings....

We are all at an age where we have one eye on the so-called " Golden Years ". You have all seen the adverts and brochures of Elderly models with perfect teeth and hair on a sunkissed beach embracing and smiling like life cant get any better......

Well....Reality is...for most of us we wont have perfect teeth and hair with health to match. We are in the Golden Years now folks...Enjoy it whilst we still can and have the health to do so.

Earlier this evening my ;lovely wife wife Mirela got a call from her brother back in Romania that her sweet, beautiful mother had died. Came like a bolt from the blue...No warnings....No serious health issues...Nothing!... My poor wife is distraught beyond words....Also our son Cristopher....

What I'm badly trying to say is this....Live your life to its fullest now and do it now whilst we are still fit and able....These are the Golden Years.....!!!!!

Sorry for the ramblings....I'm quite emotional right now and felt the need to let it out...
RIP Minadora Sopterean....You were a sweet, kind wonderful lady I'm proud to have known...

So sorry to read this devastating news John/Mirela & Christopher, RIP Minadora.
You’re so right John, we’re here but for a very brief time and life shouldn’t be put on hold, ‘one life - live it’.
Very much in our thoughts at such a difficult time.

Jon & Jackie

Rip Minadora Sopterean.
Deepest sympathy Mirela, John and Christopher.

We were having a similar conversation the other day, it was Julies birthday and I said "do you remember me picking you up from school?" (I was 17, she 16). Where have all the years gone? flew by in a blink, we never cherish the moment enough, we all need to live in the right now and make the most of every passing second.

True words Ally. We obsess about the future and dwell in the past. Let’s live in the now.

Sympathies to you John and Mirela.

My sincere condolences to you both. It's never easy loosing a parent regardless of their age. My father passed away just six months before his 100th. We were lucky to have him for as long as we did but it still is a blow when it comes. Couldn't agree with you more when you say live your life while you can. That is definitely our philosophy. Once again sincere condolences.
