The best way to explain this anomaly is to tell you about something that I read in one of Kirk Douglas’ books. A “senior” movie actress was being interviewed. The reporter said, “Forgive me, Madame, but I have to ask. Your son (who was also a star) admits to being 56. You claim to be 63. How can this be?” Her answer (& mine): “He has his life—I have mine!”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-61035875927639831072015-09-29T17:58:37.436-05:002015-09-29T17:58:37.436-05:00I'll be receiving my card in the mail is a few...I'll be receiving my card in the mail is a few years so I can sympathize.

Your dad was young when he passed away but maybe he had a tough life?? It sometimes depends on how we live our life, what we eat and do and how we view life. I still think of myself like being in my 30's but that ship sailed 20 years ago:)Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-64331540473880988332015-09-29T10:03:43.316-05:002015-09-29T10:03:43.316-05:00Wonderful post!
