[Title] => Sexy and swinging at 60
[Summary] => Sixty. The number ignited with vicious honesty. I remembered our parents reaching that age and I thought, "Omigosh! They were as ancient as the renowned museums we visited together." But looking again, there were no rocking chairs, hearing aids or walking sticks in our house, and the only hint of aging was the Polident soaking solution used for dentures and bridges.
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.

[Title] => If I had my life to live over
[Summary] => That was the title of Erma Bombeck’s book based on her hugely popular syndicated column. The piece below, which found its way to me as one of those pass-on-to-five-people-and-something-good-will-happen-to-you emails, was written after she found out she had cancer (Bombeck died in 1996). Coming after a discussion on work-related stress (the normal state of being for those of us who work with deadlines) with my colleague Tony Paño, I thought I’d pass this on, not just to five people, but to all of you.

[Title] => ROLE REVERSAL
[Summary] => Becky stood in front of her grieving mother and wrapped her arms around her so that her mom’s head rested on her bosom. When I caught her gaze, she looked at me sadly and said, "I could not allow my mother to see my father’s remains being pushed inside the crematory furnace that way. It was brutal." 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.

[Title] => Legacy
[Summary] => God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. – Psalm 46:1
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.
