“It was so good to see you this weekend,” Maga said. “Are you home now?”
“I am. Just a little bit ago. I’m now doing laundry.”
“It’s inevitable after a trip like that, isn’t it?”
“It sure is.”
“I can’t believe I’m as old as I am, but I guess I am. According to the statistics.”
“It’s quite the accomplishment!”
“Thank you. What was your favorite part of this trip?”
I took a moment to ponder all the meals out and car rides and outings and stories told and games played and laughter. “I think your birthday cake presentation at Cherry Hills.”
“Oh, yes. That was quite a moment.”
“What was your favorite part, Maga?”
“The time with you all. Each visit was perfect.”
That’s about the best thing I could have hoped to have accomplished this weekend when Maga turned 97!
