Just because you become an adult, doesn't mean you have to stop being a kid.

Loved her and miss her every day. ❤️

(They ought to see me without the partials.) - so my default reply is to complain that I'm on numbers of pills.

Also, my idea of humor when anybody asks how I am is to say, "Short, fat, and old." - Am always amazed at how in short supply my brand of "humor" is: Yes, some people laugh, but too often some responses are that I shouldn't put myself down or more charitably, "There's nothing wrong with that."
