85th birthday last week

Happy Birthday old man.

I cannot began to tell you the positive influence your life has had on my life and I also don't know how to adequately express how thankful I am for it.

I hope I live to 100 and I hope you are there to offer my family your condolences.

I’m going to share something personal. I often drive an 88-year-old woman home from church. She talks non-stop in a voice so low I can’t always hear. She talks about her life and her love for her departed husband.

She said something one day I will never forget. She talked about this and that and her husband and then softly, almost under her breath as though I wasn’t meant to hear, she said, it all went by so fast.

Thanks for relating that, it's a beautiful sentiment.

I'm not quite up there in years with her but I know what she says is true.
