I hadn't seen my dad for an extended period of time in quite awhile. I never saw my dad as anything less than someone that everybody followed, without question. Between working on my project, being chauffeured by a guy who didn't speak any English, and so often, straddling the line between contentment and raging anger, I would come home and see my dad writing in his journal and forgetting things. The realization that your parents are getting old is both humbling and terrifying.
In between, I sought refuge at the Swissôtel Shanghai and discovered a store called I.T. where I got an arm cramp browsing through the massive racks of Isabel Marant.

The realization that your parents are only human, just like you, has to be one of the most jarring while growing up.

When I read posts like this, I know you are an amazing writer and you shouldn't play that down.
Your parents aging is terrifying indeed. You are not alone on that thought.
