She went on to tell me that her husband was a retired school teacher, that she was 87 years old and he was 89. They didn't look it, both were beautifully dressed. "How old are you?" she asked.> > I told her that I was 80. She looked up at me again, smuiled, and said "Botox?"> > As I was leaving, I complimented them again on their obvious happiness and how well they were accommodating advanced age.> > Holding her husband's arm, she smiled and said, "I'm dying from multiple brain tumors. We'll do just fine."> Jack> 79/IPF - UIP/dx06/05 Maine> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
