Not everyone can exhibit 95 years of age as gracefully as my mother-in-law. She was dancing to her grandson’s music, partnering with her granddaughter and husband, and managing to stay out of the path of the great-grandchild who is, ”a very busy little girl.”
It is such a joy to have another generation of memories and encouragement in our home. She continues her adventures to the cabin of her children’s summers, the one she and her husband built. She is supported by her three children who flew through two time zones to retrieve her, helped her acclimate, and will relive memories in their cabin home. She is the living example of Pope Francis’s catechesis on aging. They both live in wonder of the world, and acceptance that they need the assistance of others. It is truly humbling to be in her presence.
Thankfully she is staying with us two nights and enjoying three generations. Her son and I are proud of the love showered on her by our children during her stay at this altitude. She has to feel some of the fruits of her life.
What a lovely tribute to someone who sounds like an exceptional woman. Making memories for a lifetime.
THAT is what life is meant to be! Thanks for sharing the joy, I felt it❤️
I love this! You are so blessed to have so many generations under one roof at one time.
What a blessing!
