Today I turn 59. WOW!! It used to be that every one I knew that was that age was really old. Now it just seems middle aged. Don't you think that 118 is a reasonable goal.
My grandfather (Ivan Butler, my mom's dad) was blind for the last 10 years of his life. During that time, on birthdays, he would call and recite a poem as his gift to us. Once he died, Mom would call and recite the same poem. She is now in heaven with her dad. I can hear them saying to me today,
Many happy returns
On the day of your birth,
May the good Father,
Prepare you on earth,
For a beautiful birthday in heaven.
