Longevity


These cute kids are my nieces and nephews. The youngest, Shane, is now almost 14. The tall one, Wayne, now has a 4 year old of his own. Kay, the redhead, has 3 little boys.

Marie and Leslie are city girls with exciting careers.

The "little girls" are now college girls. Kelly just graduating and beginning her life as a nurse.

My father lived to be 94, and my mother will be 89 in September.

It is hard to figure out why some people live long lives. I can think of at least two factors that contributed to my parent's good fortune-flowers and grandchildren.

You just can't die and miss out on seeing the new pink day lily that you planted last September, and you can't die if your grandsons are coming for dinner on Saturday.
