Birthdays are great. She sits in her chair as people arrive. Her hair is a lovely light bluey-grey. Freshly washed and curled. She has on the best dress with the matching cardigan. The birthday cake sits in th
e centre of the table. She sits at the end. The great-grandkids crowd around the table and watch as the presents are unwrapped. With the arrival of each person, her smile grows and grows. A kiss on the cheek and a hug. She thrives on the attention. They celebrate her day. And next year she turns one hundred. She's determined to be there.
