Old as she was, she still missed her daddy sometimes. ~Gloria Naylor
Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time. ~Jean Paul Richter
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~Chili Davis
First you forget names; then you forget faces; then you forget to zip up your fly; and then you forget to unzip your fly. ~Branch Rickey
