Because she's like you, it's certainly not for sissies but she takes it laughing...Well, not exactly laughing, but with her sense of humor intact.<br /><br />And that is by far the best weapon against aging!<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing, I really enjoyed it and had a good...laugh!Claude Forthommehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03871790739257823515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-134119245431811847.post-62181273431850143712013-11-29T21:59:03.263-08:002013-11-29T21:59:03.263-08:00Thanks for your comments, Patti and Donna!

When I think about her situation, I don't have much to complain about.

Do you have any advice for me?"<br /><br />It took him so long to answer that I thought maybe he had dozed off in his wheelchair.<br /><br />Finally, his response was this. "Don't ever get to be 76!"

And my answer to him is always the same, "we know what the alternative is, though". And I'll admit, I'm looking forward to heaven, but in His time, not mine!Donna Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04281785221740479598noreply@blogger.com
