This Is What 96 Looks Like

We spent last week in Florida visiting family, including my mother in law. She recently celebrated her 96th birthday.


Think about that. She was born in 1922. World War I was over and she would be a young girl when World War II broke out. She was born during Prohibition (which didn’t end until 1933) and lived through the Great Depression.


Her body may be starting to show some wear and tear, but her memory and recollection are pristine. As a result, sitting and just talking with her is just plain fun. Not only is she still the family historian ready to impart a story no one has heard before but since she personally experienced so much she has been a witness to history and more than ready to impart those stories as well.


When we said goodbye, we promised to bring a recorder next time we visited.
