Annalisa, Anna's grandmother celebrated her 80th birthday during our visit. both are still extraordinarily vigorous but with problems associated with aging. during that trip Annalisa said, funny I don't feel 80 yet, I still feel 25. perhaps mental health depends on part with insatiable curiousity coupled with an active mind. and we are always surprised how fast those years do flyrichard lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331807433806381883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101570.post-1110747699293133532005-03-13T14:01:00.000-07:002005-03-13T14:01:00.000-07:00Love the photo of your mom & dad. They both look ...Love the photo of your mom & dad. They both look quite content and happy.<BR/><BR/>As my grandmotehr always said-- "The process of aging; it's a bitch." My dad is also 83, and my mom is 75. Both have had cancer; my dad, several varieties... but they both continue to "hold the right thought" (another quote from my grandmother, and it beautifully sums up her philosophy of life). They still enjoy life and each other. My dad is a bit bummed at the moment, because his knee replacement is giving him all kinds of shit (thanks to an unfriendly infection that they can't seem to cure).<BR/><BR/>I'm reaaly glad that you are getting to spend some time with your mom and dad!<BR/><BR/>MoiExguyparishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069139108349495516noreply@blogger.com
