what an interesting weekend we have just had! My Mum was 90 today and she had a lovely afternoon and evening yesterday with lots of her old friends plus all but 5 of her family being there, 57 of them! We also had lunch out today about 16 of us, all 5 of her daughters and a few of the grand children and great grand children.
I often think about our family and how different we are although there are some similarities! But it is fascinating how some physical features go across families and also some personality traits. Some good and some not as good! Control is a big thing in our family and my mum is the epitome of someone who likes to be in control even at 90! I wasn't really doing the whole let's pretend I am an extrovert this weekend as I really had no energy to pretend and so I didn't, which was quite liberating! It happens with the family as some think I am an extrovert because I can put on a mask and 'pretend', but then I need to go away and be on my own for quite a while to recharge my batteries!
I think it is amazing that my mum has reached 90 and hope she carries on living for quite a while yet!
