And it made me thankful that my family have all lived to old age, as well as (basically) keeping well.
Both my grandmothers were in their 90s when they died, my 2 aunts, are in their 80s ... and in the new year I have been invited to my Mums cousins 70th wedding anniversary.
I read of friends who lose family - I am so thankful that mine are alive, and well - and that I have actually got to know them.
