Now, it’s our turn. In the new millennium, 60 is no longer the downside of a wave, middle age, or old age. Neither is it necessarily a forecaster of how you or I should behave.

I agreed with her. 


My friend was not probably aware of it –  this reversal of roles. Her mother has become the child, and she has become the mother. She’s now the guardian, the head of the family, the matriarch.

Erma Bombeck wrote a column about the conflicts that sometimes occur as siblings divide family items after a parent has died. Whether it’s the mixing bowls, grandma’s quilts, or the Christmas ornaments, people are often convinced that they alone should have a certain item. Bombeck  said she never wanted a TV set or a tote bag to remember her parents, because their true legacy to her was the way they lived, not what they left behind.
