I love to hear about your dad. That generation (my parents too) frustrates me. A sense of entitlement to be lazy, indulge, live self-absorbed, ME lives as they jet around or drive around in massive RV's. Yes, they worked hard but they were well rewarded. That isn't the case anymore. There isn't the same financial or job security that they had. Which is fine but they seem to think our generation just needs to work harder and we can live how they did/are. No way. It's different economic times and I don't need all that they "deserve" anyhow. If I get a chance to live into my 70's I plan to live my days like your parents--making a difference and contributing.Windhover Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729056557997290794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-46220912552155668162012-03-27T10:51:23.582-04:002012-03-27T10:51:23.582-04:00My dad is 74 as well.

My dad lost his battle with pancreatic cancer almost 3 years ago, but up to the end he was still working, helping people. My mom carries on. They, like your parents, are amazing!
