Talking to Felicia on the phone and she mentioned my grandmother. Today would have been my grandmother’s 111th birthday. Of course, no one is 111 years old. But she did live a very long time. She passed away on Christmas Eve when she was 88 years old. I can’t even imagine being 88 years old.
Anyway, Felicia knows it was my grandmother’s birthday because oddly enough HER grandmother has the same birthday. Except her grandmother is turning 81 this year and is still alive and living in her own home. I think it is wonderful that some people never have to worry about living in a nursing home because they have good health and family who love them and take care of them.
My grandmother did not have to live in a nursing home, either. My Auntie took care of care the last two years of her life and I really admire and respect her for doing that. I hope Auntie gets the same love and care when she gets older, too.
