Let's toast to good health

.

My painful leg reminds me to be grateful for life's little blessings.  It does not matter how much money you have, how great your last vacation was, how many friends you have, how stylish your hair looks, how beautiful your apartment is, because, when you are not fit, you cannot enjoy any of it

So, let's toast to good health and remind us to appreciate our health, the little things around us and our short stop-over on this earth.

"Helen, call me home"

"As 94-year-old Helen was on her deathbed, 100-year-old Joe leaned in to give her a kiss and said, "Helen, call me home."  She passed away, and only hours later, Joe followed her.

 

Though their life together was happy, it wasn't necessarily easy.  After having one child and Helen pregnant with their second, Joe left to fight in World War II.  While he was away and after having their second child, Helen sent a photo to Joe which he kept in his pocket until he was able to come home and see his children three years later. 

 

In their life together, they also saw and survived the Great Depression and the birth of 10 children, 16 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.  They had a very long and fullfilling life together, and, I imagine, they are happy to be home together once again.
