Living the Dream at 90!

Dutch Village

I never thought my father would outlive his long-term care policy, but it’s happening! As we discussed the next steps, we could not help but marvel. Who would have thought this would even happen?

As fall continues, I cannot help but remember the craziness of how he acted after my mother passed away. I remember standing outside his hospital room and thinking about how I would need to plan for another funeral. I remember the doctor telling me about “broken heart syndrome”. But here we are!

I would never believe that, three years later, he would be taking a ride on a Ferris wheel, going on little field trips to Lake Michigan, or celebrating his 90th birthday.

Thank you, God, for allowing him a quality of life at 90!
