Putting it to bed


I've read a few articles how Phil Collins of Genesis was having a hard time physically and with his ex wife. After seeing him here, it's a reminder you just can't cheat time, especially when medical issues get ahold of you. Looks like his son picked up his chops, though.

Phil contributed to his physical woes-heavy drinking. 

I can relate however,  relate to the medical/aging thing. I hope to delay getting to the "putting it to bed" phase.

He has the double whammy-his own situation and failed marriages.
At least she get a sense of pride seeing his son on the kit, carrying on.

Having a boatload of dough sure helps soften the blows.

Parkinson's is a horrible disease. Your father is in a much better place(wherever that is). I watched my mother deteriorate from dementia and had a stroke myself, while she was on her last leg of the journey. Mom did not recognize her children her final year.

If one can stay healthy, escape  degenerative disease and stay mentally sharp-you've won the most difficult competition on the face of this earth. Most everything else in this life can be figured out.
