Thanks for a great topic and the opportunity for reflection. My father passed away five years ago at the age of 91. He was riding his bicycle up to a month before he died. He smoked a pipe and loved to talk with anybody he would meet. I was an only child and so got much encouragement from my mother and father. Kathie, we are moving to The Villages with my 95-year old mother who is 65 in physical and mental years. Maybe she should meet your Dad.
