This is a Happy Birthday shout out to my husband of 46 years. I think he's doing a fantastic job of navigating old age--certainly better than I am and I'm "only" 87! We've been SO lucky in that we've avoided some of the more common life-wrecking illnesses of old age--so far. I realize that we're on "borrowed time", but we're managing for today.

Elizabeth, not really an answer to your questions, but a statement, coming from a younger generation, nearing retirement age.

Often older people don't feel important in life or that your doing anything important, but your generation is inspiring me everyday.

The kindness you and all of you show people inspires me to now that I can still do good in life, no matter how old I am.

My 90 year old uncles death inspired me, hearing his achievements after retirement.

My 5th grade art teacher, that walks everyday, picking up are roads inspire me

My mother teaches me everyday, that I want to be independent, and instead of asking others to do things, there's Ubers, and food delivery.

Each and every one of you inspire me in a different way, and are important to me

A Very Happy Birthday to hubby! Well deserved! You’re both doing great! I admire your use of technology, just being on this forum and navigating a website, something my parents were completely shut down to even attempting. Good for you being open minded and keeping up! You’re making 95 and 87 look dang good!
