I am so very blessed that my Dad is still with us and is pretty darn healthy for his age. I told a friend that he deserves to count a couple of extra years after the 2020 we have had.
He is the last living child of my grandparents. They were married in 1914 and had 9 children, six boys and 3 girls. Dad is the sixth of the nine.
Kind of bittersweet for him I am sure. His older brother was killed on this day in 1944 during WWII.
It is so hard to believe that he has lived in each of the last 10 decades and has seen so much history over the last 93 years.
Just wanted to share my happiness today.

Happy Birthday to your Dad. It is amazing when you think about all they have seen. Just think of changes that we have seen in the last 10 years and then think about 93.
We just celebrated my Grandmother's 98th in September. She is also pretty active for her age. I am thankful every day that i still have her around. Sadly, I do think this pandemic has taken a toll on her.
Hope you can do some sort of Celebrating with your father for his pretty impressive birthday.

I think we might have this conversation every year.  My stepdad will be 93 next month (mom is a young 91). That whole generation has lived such extraordinary lives. Congrats and happy birthday to your dad! Wishing him many more happy, healthy years. |

Happy Birthday to your dad! Amazing.
My mom will be 90 next month, her sister will be 91 and her other sister will be 93 in a few days. They had 9 children in their family as well. It is amazing what that generation experienced. I remember my dad saying he remembered when they laid the first pavement in Colorado Springs. I can't imagine our city without pavement. There has always been progress, but I think that generation has seen the most ever in that 90 year time frame.
Hope he had a wonderful day!

None of the other 5 boys lived past 70, due to heart issues. My dad took great care of himself, but now has pretty advanced Parkinsons. Every day is a gift. May your dad enjoy many more healthy years! |
