When is one’s child too old to be a child ?

I lost my only uncle (mamaji) on Saturday. Heart attack.
He was close to 70 and has seen a good long life, with children and grand children.
My grandfather is alive at 90+. He had five sons, four of whom he lost as children. The fifth was this mama.
To see one’s child pass away in front of one’s eyes must be the most tragic and traumatic thing to happen to any human being. And to be alive at 93 and see one’s only son pass away…..
After all, even at 70, my mama was my grandfather’s child…..
Parent-offspring is truly the pinnacle of all human relations….
