I recently lost mom, she was 73...and dad passed 1 1/2 years ago at the same age. They had a total of 53 years together. I would love to know your parents secret for living a beautiful life.<br /><br />Give Lawsy a scratch behind his ears.<br />Hugs,<br />SandySandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030352031960855220.post-47035894147780668282015-08-29T20:54:11.606-04:002015-08-29T20:54:11.606-04:00Amazing to have your parents still in your life.

Of course, if I live that long, I will become a cantankerous old lady and a huge burden on my sisters.

Might you and your sister know of any local person who could stop by daily to fix lunch, do some heavier cleaning - and check on both your parents- for a small fee? We found such an angel and she was good company and great help to my father and provided a lot of peace of mind for my sister and me. I feel for you, and wish the best for both your parents. They are clearly lovely people.

Or more precisely, never grow old. Your parents are, indeed, cutie-patooties. Hooray that they're both upright and smiling. Just look at that handsome smile on your dad's face!<br /><br />Your handsome pup sounds (and looks) like he knows how to enjoy life. Good for him. He probably has more sense than I do. I was so tired while making dinner that I thought a little glass of wine would be good. It just about knocked me on my keister. Even after eating I'm still feeling like I should put my jammies on.
