“A lot of us don’t like to talk about it but we are at times not happy to become old. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that I am not grateful to be alive and to age gracefully as they say but I experience some fear at times,” said a sister who recently marked her 55th year on this earth.
“You know, when you are much younger, you look forward to your next birthday with excitement and you are thinking about all you can and will do. In fact, young people feel that they can conquer the world and that they are invincible. I know I have felt that in my youth. But on the other side of the coin, as you get older, you at times look to the other birthday in trepidation.”
