The unbearable pain part was this. As part of dealing with mom's finances (power of attorney) I pulled her credit from credit check total. Looking over the accounts I see a Sears card with an open date of 1958. And then I see it was closed in 7/2017. A 1958 credit card. An easy AU add. I'm so depressed.
Was it migrated to Disco from Greenwood, or was it still under Sears? If the latter it only would've lasted another year or two anyway before they go under. Was it closed by customer or inactivity? My grandmother (now in her 90's) never had plastic in her life. My future kid(s) will be on my Disco though, my oldest card.
The difference between your oldest and newest card is only 16 months

True haha but they're the easiest to deal with and the lowest util since I only use the 5% categories.

But for the record, my father was 94 years old when he died from Alzheimer's and heart failure. I took a leave of absence from my job for six months so that I could move back home (to my childhood bedroom while now in my mid 50's) and take care of my parents. I was at his bedside when he died. My mother could not maintain the house after dad died so we agreed to move her into assisted living nearby where she has made new friends and is happy. I visit her every day.
This is a credit forum so I was talking about credit and a little dark humor about a very old AU account and an opportunity lost. It was a lighthearted comment or a joke - as indicated by the headline. Get a life.
At first I was little taken back, but then I though there is some dark humor in there and that's ok. Like someone said before, we have different ways of coping but humor definitely can help. You have to see the positive in things or else your life will kinda stink. Keep it up OP. My wife and I lost 3 or our 4 grandmothers in December, no parents yet and hopefully not for a while.
