I ran into an old friend today after not seeing him for a couple of years. We once worked together at a newspaper for five years, he was an usher at my wedding, and we've remained friends over the years.
Today, after we shook hands, he said, "I'm sorry, I can't remember your name". It took me a few seconds to realize he was serious. I remembered my wife told me once he was having problems, but it has to hit you between the eyes before you realize it's for real. He's several years younger than I.
At age 75, in excellent health and with my mental faculties intact, I guess I can look around and see lots of cases where I can humbly and thankfully say, "There but for the grace of God go I".
