When We Were Fifty: Addendum

Something important occurred to me today. When I wrote the entry titled "When We Were Fifty", I somehow left out a major life-changing event that occurred between ages 40 and 50. The death of my mother. This event impacted me probably more than any other one single event in my life.  

I would be negligent and incomplete if I did not acknowledge the fact that this event had occurred during this time.
