Last night, somewhere, a tribute to Dick Clark, "he died at 82." I am 80, well, at least I have two years left.
It doesn't matter when they are younger, it's those 80 plus that I seem to notice. He died, that's enough, there is no reason at all to give his or her, age. He or she is gone, that is all we need to know.
There is no prize for living the longest. We are born, we live, and eventually we all die, the age is immaterial.
If you are young, it doesn't matter and you don't think about it, if you are old, like me, it does.
Please pass this around so all the news media becomes aware of this sensitive issue.
