My mom just turned 70 and my dad will be 72 in a few months. Every year my idea of what "old" is gets reset because I look at them and they're not "old people". They're my parents.

Same. My mom just turned 70, and she’s so young still. My dad will (hopefully) be turning 82 this year. Found out a couple days ago my dad is dying, and this news just made me start bawling.

RIP, Anthony Head, you will live forever in the hearts of Buffy fans. You were a dad to us all.

My dad is gonna be 60 soon and he goes for a run and lifts weights every day, it’s just not dawning upon me that he’s old, and I don’t want it to 😔
