Ever look back and wonder how you got here so quickly? At 67, I've been reflecting on the swift passage of time and the insights that come with it. In this episode of "Bill Monty's Guide for Getting Older," I share a personal revelation that's resonated deeply with me: understanding our parents as real people.

Remember those youthful days when you felt invincible, and you believed that your parents were too? Age brings a shift in perspective, a more cautious mindset, and a deeper appreciation for the intricacies of life.

Join me as I explore the lesson of seeing our parents in a new light—beyond the roles we assigned them as kids. They, too, had dreams, fears, and flaws, and recognizing this can transform our relationships with them. I open up about my personal journey and invite you to reflect on yours. Let's connect—whether it's through email or text—and share our stories as we navigate the complex, rewarding journey of aging together.

Do you ever feel lost? Forgotten? Invisible?

I have and I'm betting you have too. I'm reminded of the saying that the only feeling worse than being alone is being alone in a crowded room.
In this episode, I traverse the oft-overlooked landscape of the aging baby boomer generation, I open up about the bittersweet journey of feeling sidelined in a society that races towards the new, frequently sidelining the old. Will we lose stories untold and wisdom gained, becoming a "forgotten generation,"? Our rich history is in danger of being drowned out by the noise of progress.
Invisible? Forgotten? How do we help each other? And why does the answer to our senior housing problem lie in an 80's sitcom?

We're asking the questions and looking for answers. Join us. My voice is your voice.
