He was born in 1950…………….yikes, 62.  Don’t say anything about getting old.  It is bugging him that we are getting old and he is a little depressed.  When he gets depressed, he obsesses about his bowels.
Love MOM

This is probably caused by the fact that I am heading towards the big 60 and can already see the signs of aging creeping up on me. Anyway, I need to know how you girls see me because you are my best critics.
Am I too thin?  Do you like my hairstyle or did you like it better when it was shorter like in your cousin’s wedding pics or longer like I had it 8 years ago? Do you think I could stand to change what I wear, like are my sneakers too old lady looking? Have I lost my “Hotness” ? If so, what can I do to get it back? Can you really see the newly acquired wrinkles on my face and do I look OLD? You will go through this too some day so don’t laugh, just tell me what I need to know. Answering honestly will not disqualify you from any inheritance…LOL, but then again you never know.
Love, Mom

This is what she wrote after she watched it again.

When I see myself at 50, I think of the saying “Time marches on…your face.” Oh well, we all get old. I stopped at an assisted living center today and wow…please don’t ever leave me sitting by the door unable to move with my mouth wide open. The flies will get in.

I should be getting to the age where I can say or do anything I want and people will just chalk it up to that crazy old lady.  Ahh,  freedom through dementia!!!
love you lots
mom

Luv ~ Me

I want to attach bras to it and say Happy 40th Birthday from your Bosom Buddies.

Doesn’t that sound like fun! Do you have any big markers?

I thought I would send a little email.  I am sure you are busy and actually have a life so I am not worried just wanted to wish you a happy birthday in person or at least in voice.  I cannot believe that I am old enough to have children 31 and 29 years old.  I think you both must be aging in dog years!  I knew you’d like that one.  Any way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, to my sweet daughter.
Love you lots and lots
mom
