I can no longer be called a 'young thing'.
(And I have felt like a 'young thing' for SO LONG!!)
Well I guess when I start qualifying for Medicare, well, I know I am no longer a 'young thing' anymore.
My youth is behind me.
Am I sorry it is behind me?
NO!
I am RELIEVED!!!
I am just glad to have lived this long.
I turned one in this photo...
(I think that's me on the right.) |
And I was before one-year-old in this next photo...
I'm pretty sure that is me (I) on the left. I'm staring at my dad... and then he said, "Yes, Nancy, I. AM. YOUR. FATHER." |
I don't mean to make light of the STAR WARS' reference...
in light of Princess Leia's (Carrie Fisher's) recent death.
That makes me think (always) of how someone told me in the early '80s
that I resembled Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher).
Only one person told me that... a lady in Hinton, Oklahoma, at church one Sunday night.
It made an impression.
A wonderful impression.
I will always remember that.
It made me feel beautiful.
And then years later my little granddaughter was Princess Leia for Halloween...

Beautiful post. You may not have cried writing it but I cried reading it. Life is fragile and we don't realize that often enough. Happy 65th!
Thanks, Pat.

Thank you, Vicki! You are wonderful. I am so glad Laura married your dear son. Oh my, yest.

Happy Birthday Nancy and Peggy !! Meeting you both in the third grade was the best thing that happened when moving to the Valley. I loved being friends with you both! We are all reaching the Medicare birthday. It hardly seems possible. ..and yet if we weren't this age we wouldn't have the grandchildren we adore! I hope the year ahead is filled with wonderful memories. Love, Wendy
