My own mother is approaching 94 in a few weeks and is still as bright as a button too but also physically failing. She has moved around a bit in all those years.

It sounds as though she has accepted it though.ADDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018958238940897902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-83181343316088317732017-07-20T10:33:05.451+01:002017-07-20T10:33:05.451+01:00Even if I hadn't told you her age I think the ...Even if I hadn't told you her age I think the handwriting would have told you that the note was from an older person.
