Edan pushes on ahead. He’s excited. He’s eager. Hey, it’s his birthday! And, yeah, the 14-year age difference between us takes a toll. Beset by a combination of chronic health issues, each one minor but all snowballed together, I’m gotten out of shape. So I slow down, and slow down some more. Edan speeds up. He’s only halfway to a century. Part of aging is letting go and letting others cruise on ahead. Not in my 20s & 30s any more. I value where I am now, the wisdom and life experience, but, sure, I miss the glory days of my 20s and 30s. Even my 40s! Life is rich, and I choose to keep living.
