Amen to that. If it makes you feel any better.....I'll hit 49 a few years ahead of you and I'll let you know how it goes. {{{hugs}}} Thankfully we are in the best Hands ever......let us embrace that, as He embraces us. “Once I had children, mortality became all too real for me.”

Amen to that.

She's 77 and going strong. We used to joke about the 49 thing, but now it is too close and too real (and it scares the crud out of the kids). Now we focus on how I'm taking good care of myself and that God will take care of the rest. I love it! She’s 77 and going strong.

We laugh about things we watch or listen to as well... we now see them through a 'kid filter' ... and suddenly they look much different than they used to. ;) Thanks for the kind words, Chuck.

Both my parents died when they were 62. I have aunts and uncles that died at 62. That's when I'm going to die." Nice, huh? Anyway, I guess she forgot that only God knows when our number is up. She's 77, btw. And can run circles around most folks in their 60s. For years, every year around her birthday my mom would tell us, “I’m going to die when I’m 62.

You don’t realize how different you’ll feel about dying until you’ve given birth to these little creatures that are 100% dependent on you for ALL of their needs." My wife and I have talked several times about how our view of death changed when we had kids. Things we did previously now seemed much more dangerous for some reason. I loved your post. It was so encouraging. And you're right. All we can do is live life and trust the rest to God's hands. “Once I had children, mortality became all too real for me.

I see in our patients every day what an effect they have on each other. There's not a dang thing you can do about getting older, but so much you can do to protect yourself. Your awareness is the first step. "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." Prov 4:23 - that verse has taken on a whole new meaning for me. I'm many, many years older than you, Bridget. I have seen many 49's. When it comes to heart disease, I've always believed "Genetics loads the gun but environment pulls the trigger." Medicine has come a very long way since your mother's heart attack. Praise God for His gifts of brilliant researchers and physicians, and for giving us that free will when it comes to our lifestyles.
