Last month we traveled to New York for my Dad's 80th birthday.
My Mom who is 83, had just gotten out of the hospital 2 days before we arrived. You may know she had a relapse of her leukemia. Her doctor gave her a choice,"We can do a strong chemo, but you will have to stay in the hospital for 3 weeks, or we can do a 'medium' chemo and you can go home in a few days." To this my Mom replied, "I have to go home, it's Frank's 80th birthday on Saturday." The doctor, who has been taking care of Mom for 3 years, smiled and replied, "Oh, I see you married a younger man!"
