One of the many delights of being old
is being "vulnerable".
I am looking forward to being "fragile",
even as I am, as ever, agile.
Much of the wisdom of life comes from the acceptance of old age. My mother died in September, 2016, four days before her 93rd birthday. I congratulate you and envy your resignation. In the heroic simplicity and release of my mother's letting go (I was with her on her last day), I got some intimation of the "delight" you speak of here.
