one of the larger discrepancies I've noticed in regards to the topic was Brian.
He had a maturity and wisdom beyond his years the final months of his life. He's almost unique in my experiences with men in being one I was attracted to who was chronologically younger than me. When he passed he was 25, and I was 31. At that tender age, I was unaware of just how attracted I was to maturity and masculinity, traits Brian had in abundance, and even increased as he physically deteriorated.
My perception of him at the time was clouded by his 'odometer' reading which I thought was pretty important but wasn't compared to how he came across. He remains 25 in my thoughts, my feelings for him never waned, and now I'm almost 60, the incongruity is not wasted on me. Same with Dave. He was 10 years older than me when he died, and now I'm almost 25 years older than he lived to be.
It's all part of the crap about getting old that I fucking do not like . . .

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
