Sitting around the kitchen table in Knoxville, Tennessee drinking coffee and visiting with my aunt and cousins. . . Once I told my 91 year old aunt that she was my favorite aunt and she laughed, "I am the only aunt you have left!" It's true; there were other aunts of whom I was quite fond. We try to get to Tennessee once a year to keep up because this one is special.
We were telling her of a friend who continues to work at age 80.
"So, what is 80?" she said. Conversations flow easily between the generations and
we love to visit with their family.
Aunt Jo is treated with great respect and kindness by her daughters and sons-in-law.
If only more older people could have the quality of life that she enjoys. Thank you, God, for families.
