At a funeral a few weeks ago I saw an old minister come in to take part in the service. I’ve known this man for 30 years, but did not recognize him until he began speaking. I was amazed at how much he had aged. At the graveside, I had a chance to speak to my dear friend. I immediately introduced myself (because sometimes older people forget names) and he responded, "Robbie! I didn’t recognize you. You’ve gotten old!". What?!
Moral of the story: Be kind to old people. One day they could be you!
