Happy Birthday Aunt Leola!

My beautiful aunt is 99 years old today.  In my mind, she's frozen in time like this -
The picture was taken about the time I left home for the big world.   Sharon did a post awhile back on How We See People .  For me, it's like a parallel universe.  Of course I know my aunt is 99, but in my mind she will always be the sweet and gentle woman you see here.

Yes, I like your idea of a parallel universe. I like having people 'frozen in time'! It is so nice to have sweet memories of family and friends, and they never age and never fail or hurt.
Happy Birthday to Aunt Leola! Can't wait to see your post for her next year!

Terry, I know exactly what you mean. We will always stay the way we were and will be remembered that way. It's just that the old body begins to change very slowly.
Happy 99 to your Aunt Leola!
