Last week I had lunch with my 80 year old aunt and her 87 year old husband. They are in excellent shape and still go for long walks. She was in town visiting her son and grandchildren, it coincided with the death of her long time friend who passed away that week due to a long illness. She extended her trip so she could attend the funeral this past Saturday. Her sister, my aunt passed away earlier this year. My aunt considers herself lucky to be in good health but it must be depressing as contemporaries start to pass away.
Lovely photos, enjoy your long weekend.Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeletePraying for you all.

Lovely pics of the the flowers. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a lovely comment on my rose paintings.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful about your aunt. I wish her continued good health.
ReplyDeleteBlessing.
ReplyDeleteWow on your aunt and uncle. Mom is 81and sharp as a tack only the body is giving a bit and getting around is harder these days . Bless it be for your aunt. Beautiful flowers. Two great choices for a Garden!
ReplyDeleteI agree it must be hard but my husbands mother at 86 says its bittersweet, she believes their earthly life ends but the spirit lives on so I guess if yu have strong faith it softens the blow, she believes she will see them all again,,
ReplyDeleteI think it amazing. My client and I read the obits to see if she is in there! She was 96 last week!
ReplyDeleteNot a guarantee, but taking care of yourself has rewards.
ReplyDeleteHope your aunt does not succumb to depression. Having your uncle with her must be a comfort.
Yay for your aunt! I’m already at the age that I’m losing some of my contemporaries and it’s disconcerting for sure.
ReplyDeleteI often worry about that time in my life... Happy they have each other!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice of you to have lunch with your aunt and uncle. Just imagine, I will be 80 in 8 years, as I am 72 right now.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures and lovely times Christine!!
ReplyDeleteA common curse for octogenarians
ReplyDelete80 and 87 proves you are never too old to go for a walk or travel :)
ReplyDeleteI want to be like her and plan to!! Good for her. Love the flower photos.

Glad you got to visit with them. I agree it must be hard to have friends passing away.
