Wow, why did they die so young (by Western standards)?
I am almost your age and while some people like my mother keep saying I am young, I feel like the best years or decades rather of my life are already behind me, even if I had another 30 years or so ahead of me. It's just not the same anymore. It makes me a bit sad to think about it...
