Today was my grandpa's 85th birthday (my mom's dad). It was great to see he and Elsie and the rest of the Sayers clan. It was also his brother's (Uncle Bud's) 87th birthday. I happened to sit near grandpa Mac and I thought (looking around the room), "holy cow, all these people are alive because of him!" It was such an awesome moment--note how I'm using the word "awesome" correctly, meaning awe-inspiring--and then I considered what I would be like if I live to be 85. Would I have lived a good life as a good person? I certainly hope so and I certainly want the time to try.
