| Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 03/27/09 at 07:10 PM Heartbreaking and just beautifully written. It's all about making use of the time you've got, and I think you make this wonderfully, painfully clear. |

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 03/31/09 at 12:37 PM I'm almost in that same geriatric boat, George
and when I am completely aboard,
I may now and then forget your name, but I will never forget you. |
| Posted by Joan Serratelli on 03/31/09 at 03:24 PM As we grow older. our memory starts going-it's a normal part of the aging process. I can remember my Dad going through everyone's name until he got to the right one. I have started writing things down. so I don';t forget. The seasons DO slow- and you've expressed that eloquently in this wonderful write! |
| Posted by Elizabeth Hoadley on 04/01/09 at 12:09 PM As you start to slow, I start to appreciate life that much more. Thank you George, great work. |
| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 04/02/09 at 12:10 PM Don't despair yet, George..there's still life in the wilderness of advancing age...grab it, before you can't. |

| Posted by Maude Curtis on 04/03/09 at 02:56 PM Oh yes George the body is slowing, it's telling us that we've done our part, now it's time to smell the roses, watch the sunsets and love the ones around us while we can. |
