This Is Getting Old

Moon is just a little bit farther down the road of life than I am, so it helps me a lot to see what's ahead for me. It's not a pretty world, the sixties. Falls, for example, are already a problem for me. I've already taken several spills in my fifties, all of them embarrassing but, so far, not life-altering. Moon has a whole chapter on falls which might seem tedious to a twenty-something, but is amazing insight to me at fifty-three. Moon also talks about her difficulties with depression and loneliness and caring for her elderly mother during her mother's last days and all of these are lovely.
