I just got off the phone with my Grandpa. I called to wish him a happy birthday. He is celebrating his 92nd birthday today. Amazing!
When I call ...
- we always talk about the weather
- I ask if anything new is happening on "top of the hill"
- I make sure I say that I love him
I have to speak slow and loud. 92-year-old ears don't work as well as younger versions.
I asked my grandpa how many more birthdays he wanted to celebrate. He replied, "As many as I can." He retold the story of any offer he received. When he turns 100 years old, a local restaurant promises to give him free meals every time he comes to visit.
My grandpa has experienced war. He has lost the love of his life. He body is aging, but he keeps moving forward. He chooses life. He chooses to celebrate.
That is what I want @BirthdayBoost to be like. I want us to choose to celebrate one another - whether our a first Steem birthday or a 100th year birthday celebration. px
