When I was young and I looked at aged faces, I saw wrinkles. Now I look at those faces, and see the bone structure, the shape of the person's face, their expression, and all the lines and experience on their face. Sometimes, I see an old face that is beautiful, through all of this.

I was with my ex partner's mother when she died. She was lying back, and for some reason her face was very relaxed, and she looked young, and glowing. She looked young, innocent and beautiful at that time, despite having looked very old and haggard in the months leading up to her death.
