My dad has dementia so, in addition to my introspection on mortality these days, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it must feel like to have had a lifetime of experiences behind you and have learned so much about living and living well. As an “in-betweener”, I have the privilege to be part of my children’s innocent and optimistic outlook on things, while, at the same time, celebrating the wisdom and the perspective of my parents, who raised a loving family, immigrated to a new country and lived an adventurous life full of joys, surprises, disappointments and everything in between.
