“You get auld and your auld acquaintances can be forgot, or at least can go silent. Some of them are dead and others have simply fallen out of touch in other ways. And I remind myself to avoid looking at all this from the wrong end of the telescope. Too many longtime friends, one of whom I met in kindergarten, have sunk so far into dementia that, yes, they have forgotten me.” -Sydney Lea in Oldster Magazine.
