Going through my parents memorabilia got me to thinking about and missing my mom’s sister. I feel a special bond with her as we share a birthday. I had not talked to her in quite some time, so I gave her a call today. We chatted for a while and reminisced. She will be turning 90 this year, but sounded as clear as she had in the past. It even seemed that she was able to hear me better than in some previous phone conversations. She told me that the phone was connected directly to her hearing aids, and that really helped. She was visiting her son in Florida and enjoying the warm weather. She talked about the joy that she gets from her great grandchildren, even though it’s hard to believe she is that old. And we talked about the challenges of trying to reduce the amount of “stuff” in a house. It was good to talk with her and I was grateful for our conversation.
