The climb out was extremely difficult, but the camaraderie my brothers and I have made it special. We are aged 62, 60, and 58. We live in different states and don\u2019t have many opportunities to get together. Plus, we don\u2019t have lot of years left sharing these types of experiences and we savor each and every one. Completing the hike gave me a great sense of accomplishment and sharing it with my brothers made it special.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Dom S<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>imma survivor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>surviving being turfed to street at 1 am after massive stroke while supporting family in weekly rent motel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>tripichick<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>POV: You&#8217;re 52 and falling apart<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Just this morning. Over the past few weeks I&#8217;ve had a sudden onset of health things; insane poison parsnip huge blister on my foot, Basal skin cell cancer successfully removed from my temple twice, emergency root canal, two crowns on my teeth, and finally this morning (and last night&#8217;s prep for) a colonoscopy. &#8220;You&#8217;re falling apart,&#8221; was the comment from my younger workmate. &#8220;We&#8217;ve a lot to be grateful for,&#8221; was the comment from my mother in law. Why is that an accomplishment? At 30 you start to feel aches and pains. At 40 you realize you have to fight just to not atrophy. And a 50 you keep at it and kind of just cross your fingers that you&#8217;ve sufficiently shifted the bell curve of health fortune in your favour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Peter A.B.
