I'd always assumed that I would die at about the same age as my dad - he was 45. I am five years in credit now. I can't get my head around the fact that I am older than he was - ever.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always thought I was going to die before I was 60.
I think because my parents died in their early 50s, mid 50s, I always thought I would die young. And that's been both a useful thing and I suspect something that's haunted me a little bit.
I guess I can be surprised I'm alive. I'm taking a little better care of myself than when I was a young person. My father died when he was 63. My mother made it to 74. My grandparents, God, they were dropping like flies.
No one will die if they don't know how old I am.
My mother was 45 when she had me, so when I was in high school my parents were the same age as my friends' grandparents.
I always felt older than my years, maybe because I was married to someone older.
My father died when I was five, but I grew up in a strong family.
How young can you die of old age?
My dad died when he was 60. I was only 17 and I think, psychologically, that had a huge impact on me, probably more than I realised.
I was 28 when my father died, and I was an only child.
