It hits you when you become older than your father saw.

Things do not fall into that place until you reach a certain age. Your never looking back always eyes ahead and most the time missing what is said. Then days arrive not with surprise just there when you open your eyes its all about you your older than your father he never reached this age. Your older than you thought you were can I go back to yesterday? can I return make my peace say sorry dad this should be you. How did it happen that I become older than my father younger than my mum.

John,

Truer words were never spoken. Often you talk to your children, and suddenly hear from your mouth the words your parents used. It's scary!
