When my mother turned 90 years old, my four-year-old grandson was quite amazed when she told him her age. His sweet response was, “That’s a Big number!” Today would have been her 100th birthday. She always said she did NOT want to get to 100 years old, and she missed it by one year and three weeks. But I am thinking of her today and feeling so deeply grateful that she was in my life for so many years.
A Fondness For Reading 
My mom is 93 and still a reader! What a blessing it is to have a mother even into our retirement! I know you will be celebrating your mother today!

She is currently reading David Baldacci’s End Game for her book club. She lives in assisted living and reads and plays bridge with friends she has made there. Pretty cool to have a new best friend in your 90s. She also likes Anne Perry and Georgette Heyer. I am fortunate to live close by and spend time with her regularly. I hope your day is filled with happy memories!
