Where did the<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000080;\">years go and where did my youth go? I remember well seeing older people<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000080;\">through the years and thinking that those &#8220;older people&#8221; were years away<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000080;\">from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000080;\">imagine fully what it would be like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000080;\">But, here it is&#8230;my friends are retired and getting grey&#8230; they move<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000080;\">slower and I see an older person in myself now.
