I keep telling my now also retired wife we are now becoming the "elders"......even if we don't act it. 

I got my daughter to admit that she and her husband moved back from Calif. to Texas because both their sets of parents were reaching the 70s. I just laughed and told her she was welcome to keep up with me on my long hikes in the high altitude of the Colorado mountains. She and her husband are the only two that can. I will hit 72 on the 21st.?

Isn't that the truth.  I was watching PBS yesterday some of the 60s rock n roll era, knew every word and realized that was 50+ years ago.  

We just lost my wife's spry 94 year old mother Feb. 1, 2019 after a broken hip in January, only my 86 year old mother is left.

Sorry for your loss.  In time you will really remember all of the good times like it was just yesterday!

Thanks. He lived far longer than expected since he had a triple bypass 27 years ago. But this time they were too clogged and he was too old to do another. He had been placed on hospice care, so I got a chance to see him the day before he died in his sleep overnight. He was at peace with it all. He knew he had lived many years on borrowed time.
