Happy New Year "2009"

Wow another year down. This last year has flown by and my grandkid are all another year older, to say nothing about my children and husband. I am sure he robbed the cradle. In fact I think something miraculous happened it is impossible for me to have sons in their late 30's.

I wonder if my mother felt that way. What does she think when she says, "My daughter couldn't be married to a 62 year old.

I can't believe my parents are as old as they are. Dad is 81 and Mom is 79. I am thankful to still have them. There is however the worry about mom. She is getting evermore forgetful. She told dad something about "that guy Avon is married to."

I wish I was closer and could be there to help with her.

The last time I was home I told her it was ok if she forgot how to do things, she still remembered us and that was more important and that we would take care of her.

I can't imagine how it would be to realize you couldn't do even the simplest things that you used to do.

I am however glad to have her around.
