Yesterday was my mother's 87th birthday and we had such a good day with her! I made a cake and we had a "party" at her apartment last evening. Judy, Mel, Roger & I plus my Uncle Paul (mom's brother) and Aunt Max (Maxine) and my Uncle Bob (dad's brother) and Aunt Dot (Dorothy) helped her celebrate. Uncle Paul is 94 and Aunt Max is 93; Uncle Bob & Aunt Dot are in their mid 80's and it is so good to see them all doing so well. Bob is still playing golf regularly but Paul & Max do not - they sure miss it though. Uncle Paul said they usually don't go to bed until around 12 midnight and get up around 7 or 8am - he says "99% of old people die in their sleep so he's not going to spend any more time in bed than he has to!"I was "teary eyed" on the way home - thinking of Dad - and realizing how much all of them miss him too.
