Today is my 85th Birthday. I just made the above comment on another post but it is what's taking place in my life personally that tells me why I make such comments.
I started the morning with a Happy Birthday greeting from my wife followed by greeting my family's latest addition, my nine month old great-granddaughter. Then I received texts from each of my three children with their personal Happy 85th Birthday greetings.
I can't see them all today but we are all in touch almost daily. That's family. That's important.
