Gone but not forgotten. Tv & movie stars you grew up with.
All your life people pass away... one by one...seemingly little by little.
Then, all of a sudden, most of them are gone. And the older you get the more are gone. Bringing you to the realization that you yourself are much closer to the end than the beginning. Every time you watch an old movie or TV show you are reminded of your own mortality... as if you needed any reminders.
I won't say that you become preoccupied with the thought of death... but when you have that momentarily thought of your own mortality several times a day... well, it kinda wears on your cheery disposition. Kinda makes you wonder how many of the people that you went to school with are still alive. Funny how remembering things your parents and grandparents did... they looked through the obituaries regularly to see who is still alive, and who was gone. Seems like information that you really don't need... all it does is remind you, your time is running out. Just something to think about... but than again, perhaps not.
