Yesterday was Grampie's 93rd birthday. NINETY-THIRD. I called him and we talked about all sorts of things, including (of course), his sweetheart of 63 years, whom he misses terribly.
If I live to be his age, I hope that I have half the independence, humour, and heart that he shows on a daily basis.
"It was love at first sight. She winked at me with both eyes and I knew she'd fallen for me. Of course, being a sophisticated city boy, it took me a bit longer to fall for her."Oh, I love this man. He is a treasure.
"How much longer?"
"About ten seconds."

(Here he is in June 2008, on his 62nd anniversary.)
i love this :)
