I Am Rambling

Most Seniors tend to Ramble. The reason, they fail to understand their own reasons. They don't know why. Yet they know and hope others know, so await as you slide and fill your thoughts deeper mostly because they likely haven't been told they were wrong,or incorrect.

Seniors are often lonely. Not used to company.

Yea ... I attended a funeral a few years back of the husband of one of my wife's friends He was about 85 or so and except for us and the now widow and a few family members there was just the military rifle team and honor guard. The honor guard made up half of the graveside crowd.

By 85, 60%+ of his old friends and relatives had probably passed away, and many of those still alive were challenged to just stay alive. He'd left his old workplace 20 years earlier and long since been forgotten.

Military service means that you will still be remembered and honored 50+ years later. And thanked for your service.
