Thats the bad thing about growing old. My grandma who was 101 at the time said the worst part of growing old was watching all your friends and children die.
There is only 1 friend from my teens still alive and only 3 left that I served with in Viet Nam.
Lost way more family to cancer then any other cause a real downer.

I guess I’ll chime in.
Mom fell two years ago and is paralyzed from the waist down and has had multiple surgeries.
Dad has had 3 back surgeries 12 vertebrae in his back and 5 in his neck in the past year.
My wife has had 4 surgeries in 4 years one was life saving.
Silver lining is I still have them all.
I have gone to 3 funerals for friends I grew up with that their parents died in the past 6 months.
I guess the older we get the people around us the ones we looked up to all start to go.
Sorry for everyone’s loss.
Doug I hope your feeling better.
