A Milestone Birthday


I'm in Manitoba right now with my Mom who is celebrating her 90th birthday today. This photo was taken during World War II when she was 19 years old, about two years before she met and married my father. My sister and I are going to bring flowers and an ice cream cake to the nursing home and we will all parTAY!

Aging is such a bittersweet process.

  24. Aging is bittersweet. Is it always better than the alternative? There is a very small part of me that is grateful my mom will never have to grow old and and live in a nursing home.

    I hope you all had very nice day!
