Had my Dad's 100th birthday party today!
My Mom still drives, but not at night and not very far. Mostly to the store and church.
Zero chance I'm getting to a 100.
Though
t his casino days might be behind him, but he got out today!
I'm 72 and have outlived my Dad's age at his death. Mom made it to 86. Both were smokers and drinkers and I'm neither. "I plan on living forever........so far so good".
Those of you who still have your parents on the planet with you are blessed, IMO. Cherish it. Hearing about all these birthdays being celebrated by folks in their 90s and + is inspiring. I really miss my folks and am living the dream being able to spend quality time with my adult children and all the grands.
sdandrea1 Very nicely stated. I agree. My parents were 43 & 42 when a car crash took their lives. Still sucks today. Not sure grandkids are in my future but love being around my boys. Why I moved.
