Mid-life and Later-life

I really enjoyed the topic of our lecture on Tuesday. I'm glad to know that the myths about mid life are not true. I thought that almost everyone had a mid life crisis and I am so glad that its a myth. I don't think people should freak out about getting older. You know its going to happen. One thing I see happening with my family as my brother and I are getting older is that my mom is having separation issues. She had a hard time when I went off to college and I know she is not ready for my brother to leave, even though he still had 3 years left. I think that once my brother does leave my mom will be ok and her and my dad will have more time to do what they want and I'm pretty sure they will have more money(my brother and I are kind of expensive).

I also enjoyed talking about later life. I work in a retirement home and I enjoy it so much. I have never had as much fun at a job as I do there. All of the residents are so nice. It is really neat to see all of the couples that live there. When I'm working there I can see that they are happy being with each other and that they love each other so much. I hope that in my later life I can be as happy as the residents there are.
