So It Goes: Checking the obituaries

I was recently reading a friend's calendar on the back of her toilet door and I realised that she (and myself) are moving in friendship circles that are lapping at the edge of those of my parents. My parents I should point out have reached that tragic time in their lives when, at ages 90 and 95, have outlived all of their families and almost all their friends. It's a bitter sweet victory of sorts.
