It saddens people when those they look up to pass away, even though we did not know them personally. My favourite Sci-Fi actress is still around, at 95 years old and still going strong... June Lockhart

. And with pop music, I think we know we are getting old when Deborah Harry just turned 75 years old.
Life is a bit like a long train journey with many stops along the way. You don't know when you are going to exit, but along the way passengers come and go; and a few familiar faces stay with your entire journey. In my life, I met my great grandaunt who was born around 1870 and I will know people who will probably live until 2120. That's a span of 250 years!
