Growing Old

Ben Randall: When the heck did we get old? 

Maggie McGlone: Hell, I've always been old Ben. Ya' know what though, I don't mind. I mean if my muscles ache, it's because I've used 'em. It's hard for me to walk up them steps now, its 'cuz I walked up 'em every night to lay next to a man who loved me. I got a few wrinkles here and there, but I've layed under thousands of skies with sunny days. I look and feel this way, well cuz I drank and I smoked. I lived and I loved, danced, sang, sweat and screwed my way thorough a pretty damn good life if you ask me. Getting old ain't bad Ben. Getting old, that's earned.

watched this with daddy the night before. really meaningful movie, and this scene that took place between Randall and the Bar tender late at night really got me a new perspective on growing old, and i'd like to share it with whoever's reading this.

this scene turned something scary like growing old, into something beautiful.

i love you daddy. get well soon.
