Strange to think about...

I had a weird thought yesterday, and it has been on my mind ever since.

Most people think of their parents as older. Your parents are and always will be older than you. Until yesterday, I always had the same conception of both my parents. My mom is almost 50 and my dad would have been 51 this year.

Except that he died in April of 1983 at the age of 25.

I am 26.

I am older than my dad.

It's kind of strange to think about.

I know people out there who get to 60 or 70 and have that thought, having parents who died in their 50s. But I am not 30 yet.

I don't know why it is on my mind. Just a novel concept, I suppose.
