Passing of Parents.

[Accy cyclist]

My dad went in 1988 aged 44. My ambition has been to beat his record. So far so good - I'm 8 years up. Mum is still going but has Alzheimers, so not sure how much longer she has left.

On about records as in beating them, my dad's dad, his father in law and my dad himself all died aged 69. Even my usually none superstitious brother the other year said he's worrying about when/if he reaches 69. He's 68 this coming July, so he might be thinking it could be his last year. I have 3 years starting this November to go before I reach the 'dreaded 69' and even though I'm slightly superstitious, I'll see how my brother goes on before worrying about it!😉
