Nothing illustrates the passage of time and the approaching end bit than to make the mistake of checking to see what pop stars from ones youth look like today.
Somehow one imagines that they have not changed, especially when an "oldie" song comes on the radio-the artists seems frozen in time in ones minds eye.
However, on reflection, once the shock wears off (and part of the shock is reflecting on ones own mortality of course (although one tends to think that they have aged and one has not) the reality is that they have had remarkable life experiences and brought much pleasure to the world. Hopefully further reflection brings to ones mind a lot of happy memories from across a life well lived.
