At the ripe old age of just about 60, i can only say that when i grow up i hope to have at least half the spunk and gumption of Madelyn Kubin. This is a book of letters that she writes to family, one daughter in particular, following the course of debilitation of her husband Quentin.
Not that she is a picture of health herself mind you, in fact far from it. But she perseveres, does more on her own then most of us would before she admits she needs help.
Aging is not for the meek, you grab hold with both hands and make the most of what you have....and have not. She sure did.

Of course there are times when she is sad, depressed, down but her sense of humor NEVER fails her.
"....at the time of the women's liberation movement was just getting started, i read articles about men becoming impotent because they were having to dry dishes. As i was scooping cow shit out of the barn, and sometimes spitting it out of my mouth, I really did not feel very sympathetic towards them. OH YOU POOR BASTARDS.....my heart just aches for you!
She IS my idol.… (altro)
