"Grow old along with me
The best is yet too be
the last of life
for which the first was made
He promised us a whole
So trust and believe"- Robert Browning
The Mother of our children,Donna, called our son, Dan, and suggested that something be done to recognize my 80th birthday.
Something was done. Donna furnished the cake and Dan,along with Randy,Greg and Romona, arranged for a hall and cocktails and houer deurves(Spelling) Dan, Brigid and Summer were the only family members physically present but I felt that all were present in spirit.
Two of my friends, Loma and Jewell, compiled a guest list and I added to the list on my own.
All in all, some 100 guests showed up at the Tivioli Gardens resturant. Dan was the MC and one of my friends ,Purple, who used her walker when she came to see me in the hospital in November threw away her walker and danced for the group after she pushed her walker away.
We honored another gentleman,(The Chief) in absentia for which I am so glad that we did so because I received word this morning that he passed away.
No one may be at his grave as he returned to the earth but he was in our hearts and mind last week
The generousity of Dan, Brigid, Summer and the rest of my family was wonderful and I am reminded that
I among all men, am most richly blessed.

We were honored to be among the friends invited to help you celebrate your 80th. You could have foled us! We thought at the most, it might have been your 75th birthday. It was a very special party for a dear friend
