My father has his 95th birthday today.

Both he and my mother are now 95, and both are still with us. How remarkable that is is something I'm very keenly aware of. They celebrated their 75th wedding anniversary last year.

Both have health problems and are not getting around very well, but they're still alive.

I'm a very lucky guy, I think. I know nobody else who still has both parents who are 95 years old.

I just wanted to share that with my DU friends.

7. I wish I could, but I'm in Minnesota and he's in California.

I'll have to settle for our daily phone call, I guess...

6. Happy Birthday

to your dad!! 95 is quite the milestone.

My mom just had her 90th in June and is still running circles around most 80 yr olds. She walks 15 minute miles and works out at Planet Fitness twice a week.

And has a 76 yr old boyfriend!

8. Good for her!
