My father is having his 80th birthday today, and has taken himself and my mother off to Paris to celebrate, which seems like a pretty good idea (except that the rest of us have to stay back here and work or go to school).
I hope you have better things to do today than read this, but just in case, Joyeux anniversaire dad!
Congratulations!!
My father died at 55, my mother at 75. My mother lost a leg to diabetes at 67, so her last years were not easy. Tell your parents to enjoy their golden years, and God bless!
