(30,408 posts)of two sisters..When we were both in our 30's, I sent her a birthday card which read:
..Roses are red, violets are blue,
....Whatever your age,
....I'll be younger than you!
Now that we're both a couple of decades older,
I feel a little less chipper about it all.

We lost her at age 77 in 2021, but she had a good life.

(5,175 posts)I am going to be 64 on Sunday. My sister said once that if you counted back nine months from our birthdays, you'd end up on my Dad's birthday month. She joked, "guess we know what Mom gave Dad for his birthday at least twice in four years." She should have been a comedian, that one. 🤣

But, one thing I can't do ... complain to my wife about that feeling of getting older.
