I feel it now in middleage so I cannot magine what it must be like at 90. As we know our bodies get older but our hearts and minds are the same.<BR/><BR/>Great post and she sure looks good for 90 in that photo. A beautiful smile and a kind gentle face.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-26683306297433561232009-03-02T10:06:00.000-08:002009-03-02T10:06:00.000-08:00I love this story.Sorry for your loss!I love this story.<BR/>Sorry for your loss!travel girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08290964396289493443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-67903396994702272742009-03-01T21:23:00.000-08:002009-03-01T21:23:00.000-08:00I love Mary!!!

Those were dark days for me back then; the ex was quite a handful at times, and Mary was a wonderful source of support. <BR/><BR/>Like you, Sandi, I adore old people. They have so much to contribute to our lives, if we only let them in.<BR/><BR/>@ Debra: Oh, sister, we could so be friends--Jewish girls from New York are the best! I have a post coming up that I think you'll enjoy.<BR/><BR/>@ the letters: Senior living really is like going back to high school days! The circle of life...

I'm realizing now that I'm here in a town where the population of elderly outnumbers us in our 40's that they are witty, fun, entertaining and honest.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you were touched by Mary because you also touched her. <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry that she didn't live to be 280 years old!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459265311205890622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-27738443632295944882009-03-01T06:46:00.000-08:002009-03-01T06:46:00.000-08:00Aw, what a great story.

I hope her onward journey is filled peace, joy and many more adventures fulfilled. You are indeed lucky to have known her, and I've no doubt she felt the same way about you. BTW: I'm a nice, Jewish girl from New York. ;-)Debra Lynn Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238268767406623274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-58419574862586792112009-02-28T18:48:00.000-08:002009-02-28T18:48:00.000-08:00Very nice Linda.

I'm glad you took the time with getting to know Mary... even if you did have the same phone conversation over and over..... I'm sure she's missing you too. *smiles<BR/><BR/>Di<BR/>The Blue Ridge GalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4043113139515346307.post-88411502232266443482009-02-28T17:15:00.000-08:002009-02-28T17:15:00.000-08:00That was a beautiful post!
