Saying goodbye to my 20s

Today is officially my last day as a twenty something. It's been an interesting decade. Early on I was legally able to go to the bars and drink. I didn't abuse that privilege much, but definitely took advantage of it. At 22 my dad was diagnose with cancer and by 23 he had passed away. After that I began having some health problems. I went from walking to a walker to a scooter to a wheelchair in my mid-twenties to today. I've gone from attending the Olympics in 2002 to going to Italy in 2003. In 2006 I spent time being bed-ridden to being in the hospital and also spent time in a couple of nursing homes. Looking back it's been a fun and interesting 10 years. When I was 18 I never thought I'd make it to 30. That seemed to be so far away. Now here I am a day away from 30 and I'm excited. I have no clue what this decade will bring, but I'm excited for the journey. It was good to know you 20's, now I say hello to my 30s.

I can't believe you didn't mention getting the "World's Best Mother-in-Law" as an upcoming milestone event for your 30th year! And how about a "shout-out" for your bride, as well?

Randall - it's been a privilege to have shared many of those memories with you. Life brings changes indeed & the road often brings heartache. In good & bad; laughter & tears...it's better when we walk together. We love you! Look forward to seeing you & Auntie Em tonight at Christmas Presence.
