[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 280098, member: 1545"] Daisy has some great food for thought. I have read that as we age, our personalities become more 'pronounced'. That is if you tend to lean toward depression, that trait will become more evident with-age. I also think that aging, tends to bring all sorts of physical, emotional, sexual, etc changes that can be very frustrating - which in turn can lead to all sorts of depressive feelings. Lastly, he may be thinking about 'end of life' issues. If (statistically speaking) he lives to be an average age - he probably is thinking that his years on earth are numbered. I don't mean to be macabre - just offering different ideas in regards to his mindset. My own dad (who is 65) is beginning to talk about 'years gone by' - etc. I am with him enough to know that he is thinking about end of life stuff. Plus - 2 teenagers? Tough stuff. [/QUOTE]
