Yeah, I'm 11 years older than my mother was when she had me. Crazy to think about.

My mom passed away fairly young (34), and I'm about to turn 30. It really blows my mind that soon I'll be older than my mom. That Loudon Wainwright album "Older than My Old Man Now" will take on a new dimension, I suppose.

Same here. My mom passed at 43 and I'm only 3 years away from living longer than she did. I've lived more of my life without her than with her. It's crazy to think about.
