Truly Remarkable

Yesterday, my mom celebrated her 92nd birthday.

Mom moved out of assisted living to her own apartment after Dad passed, and is doing extremely well at being independent again.

Her memory is sharp, she maintains a great sense of humour, and is involved in many of the activities in her seniors apartment building.

Mom makes her own meals, does her own laundry, makes her bed and does her own light housekeeping.

She’s techy – in her nest around her chair is a laptop that she uses to do her banking, an e-reader, an iPhone, and an iPad and she tries to troubleshoot device issues on her own before asking for help.

She still plays her 12 string guitar and sings beautifully.

We’re very blessed to have our mom in excellent health in both body and mind. Aside from using a walker due to some lower extremity neuropathy, she’s determined to stay fit, to the point of being sure to log over 3,000 steps daily.

Truly remarkable!

    She is a wonderful example of how to live life fully. Interesting that she moved back on her own and that is why she is still so strong on many levels.
    My Mom was quite similar at 92 but 8 years later her body is wearing out.
