One of the scariest moments in my life was when I went to Portland to visit my cousins. We got to talking about their parents, my aunt and uncle and so forth.

We were all getting up in years, just as their parents and mine did.

And then one of my cousins said "now we are them!"

Realising that you can remember your parents when they were the age you are now is one of those scary moments.
