You might wonder why I chose the title Forever Young. It's not because of Mel Gibson and Jamie Lee Curtis, who starred in the film Forever Young,, or the song by Rod Stewart, but for the pure joy of saying those two words. FOREVER YOUNG.
Now I know you're probably thinking, is she crazy, or what did she have to drink today? I'm over fifty, sixty etc. etc. and etc.,
Well let me give you one example or maybe two...or more as I go along...
My uncle, who is eighty-eight years old, impersonated Elvis for many, many years. He had the women swooning over him, with my aunt on the sideline, watching with pride, enjoying every moment. Since my aunt's death, he stopped for awhile, mourning the lost of his soul mate. But as time went on, he got out his white sequin suit and wig, knowing she would approve, and started performing again, until he finally retired at the age of eighty-five.
He is also the busy traveler, who has been to so many places, that I've lost count with the latest being, a cruise to Alaska.... and now he has a companion, eighty-four years young, and both love to dance.
So Uncle, I must say you are a fine example to others, and of course to me, that you are never too old to live life to the fullest.
so I look at my uncle and say he is FOREVER YOUNG.
