This emotional song reminds me of six teenage friends at Albion in the 1960s. Dosti was a popular movie at the time, that we saw together with six packs of Banks beer and cigarettes. During those years we did stuff that could write volumes.
In 1964, we loaded a car with drinks and hired a designated driver to take us to #63 beach and Skeldon. We were fortunate that we stopped at a wedding at Hampshire and a photograph was taken of the seven of us together. We drove through Black Bush Polder, bought and ate from every fruit stand we passed.
Two have passed on and are buried in New York and Virginia. Presently, one is in England with open heart surgery, another in New York with bladder problems and a urine bag. The one in Toronto recently had a kidney removed, with dialysis three times weekly and another in Western Canada with glaucoma.
I am the only one still able to travel and would see the others often. I can also do aerobics three times weekly, but there is no guarantee how long life will last.
So do things while you are still young and able to do them. Because you can retire with a good pension and not able to fully enjoy it, due to poor health.
