Thank you for the response's.....my SIL didn't write that piece herself, she just felt that summed it up pretty good. I had to agree , all except the part about the bathing suit ....im with Nancy on that one!
Victor, congrats on both your parents upcoming B-days! That is so wonderful that they are still around, you are blessed. I miss mine parents very much. I was 25 when my Dad died and 31 when Mom passed, but they taught me it was OK to grow old and I should embrace it, and enjoy it. Dad was 64 when he passed and Mom was 71....I was one of those change of life babies.

Ngam, 94 is amazing!! You too are blessed to still have her around.....give her a big hug when ever you can, and one fron me!

lcosden, congratulations on your first child!!! You my Dear have a long way to go before your old, but you have a great attitude about it! Hate to tell ya.....but it's that little bundle of joy in your belly that will make you gray and age faster more than anything!! LOL

Jan, turing 40 was one of my best Birthday's...tell your DDIL it only gets better ......well minus the aches and pains, those get worse!
I feel the same way as you about age....why fight it?

Kim, your still young at heart and kids will always be crawling in paper bags due to their parents outburst! Hope you and DH have many wonderful dates!

OK...now the saying my Brother & I love:




Candyce...im glad I asked a month later!!
