I’m foreseeing the same possibility with my husband. He’s 8 years older than me and still active, but slowing down and starting to look old. His shoulders are getting hunched. He’s thin as a rail. I’m starting to see my future and it’s scary. But I knew the possibility when I married him, so I can’t complain.

Thanks for being so honest and vulnerable in this piece. Accepting what we cannot change is the biggest part of being content ourselves, isn’t it?
