C4AC #3 – Happy 99th

Comment for a Cause (C4AC) is back for it’s 3rd year. C4AC is my way to raises funds & awareness. This year I’ve picked Right to Play as my charity of choice. Each comment this site gets equals $1 that I will be donating at the end of the month.. Don’t forget to keep up to date by subscribing to my rss feed

My Aunts (well my late grandpa’s sister in law) just celebrated her 99th birthday and she is still with it and still drinks like a fish (well not as much as she use to). I wish I was able to make it to her celebration but I had to work (GRRR!)

She is an amazing lady and to be 99 and now deciding that maybe moving into a senior center is a good thing as she can’t take care of her house like she use to. She will be moving to the best senior center in BC in a few weeks and her eldest son is moving into her place.

Happy Birthday Aunt Evelyn, your just a blink away from those triple digits.

I don’t know if I want to live to be that old, with no one left from her generation alive must be hard.. But I do love listening to the stories that she and all my late relatives have told about their youth and how much the world has changed since they were my age.

I do wonder what would it be like in a 100 years, what silly fashion trend is the new fad, how far has technology taken us, have we walked on Mars yet..

Have you ever wondered what life be would be like in a 100 years?

Four Years

Remembrance of the grandfolks
This month marks four years since both of my grandfolks passed away. My gramps passed away on the 3rd and 17 days later my grams passed away. They were married for 65 and a half years and guess you could say they couldn’t live without each other.

The picture was from my grams funeral, each candle resembled the family (the two of them, their 3 kids and the 8 grandchildren). The daffodils are from the garden where my cousins 1st child (who died at birth) ashes were scattered. He was the 1st great grandchild.

It’s weird but everyone thinks my boo looks soooo much like my grams.

I guess you can say I’m lucky I got a chance to know both sets of grandparents as an adult. Back in 2003 is when I lost my 1st grandparent now just my dad’s mom left. The joys of getting old!
