Hi.
Odd things in life make you think. Come the 27th December my Dad would have been 100.
On my mothers side my Grandfather would have been 126 years old!
It makes you think how short a life we actually have.

on the 27th December my dad's 59th birthday, with plenty of drinking involved.

I do agree, life is short, so its the time now to make the most of it while we can.

Its not how long you lived its how you lived as a individual.

Never hold back and keep pushing forward.

My Mother was 98 last weekend, and I treasure every day with her, even if she takes a lot of time looking after! Still has her hair done regularly, and remains a platinum blonde!

Good friend died this week aged 68. Live every day!

It certainly does.
A workmates wife died recently she was 26 it certainly makes you think.

Strange thing with me is...
I could not tell you you the day, date, year my Mom and Dad died.
Even when I ask my Sister to remind me, I just or my mind justs refuse to remember those dates.
I can remember their birthdays with no problem.
Am I alone in this?
Ken.

I lost my Dad on June the 5th 1982.
I lost my Mum on October the 19th 1991.
I lost my wife on December 23rd 2010
And I lost my daughter on 22nd October 2011.

Age makes no difference for when your time is up, age is but a number.

My memories are the most precious to me.

60 now and I cherish and love every morning I awake, money and material things mean absolutely nothing to me.
