Three Old Women And Two Old Dogs

29 Mar

Nobody wants to read about old women doing amazing things but you should, if you’re lucky it could be to you.

Happy birthday Alice 82

My conservative, republican mother-in-law moved to Mexico to live with her ex-military lesbian daughter and her older wife. It’s been one hellava ride.

Alice’s 80 birthday

Alice is now eighty-two and living large in her own tiny jungle home.

Alice with her best friend.

Her house is a museum. She’s never seen a knickknack, or doll, or pair of shoes, or jewelry…that she doesn’t love. When her clothes washer recently died, her main concern for a new one was that it had to be pretty. She now owns a red washing machine.

Who loves to have her picture taken?

Alice survived Covid and RSV (a respiratory virus) both of which put her in the hospital. She has more lives than a cat. She sets an amazing example of resiliency and living life on your own terms and we’re so lucky to have her with us.

      She is that. We watch her struggle with technology, hearing aids and her aging body. I hope I cope as well as she does.

        My mother is 91. She still hears well, but technology is difficult for her. Mobility is getting to be a challenge as well. It’s hard to watch, but I’m very grateful she’s doing as well as she is. I too hope to do as well as she when I’m her age.
